Fifty years of queer San Francisco. One unforgettable night to celebrate it all.
Wednesday, June 10, 2026 | The Castro Theatre, San Francisco
A historic venue in the heart of a legendary neighborhood, The Castro Theatre has seen a lot. Still, it has never seen a night quite like this one.
San Francisco Pride and Peaches Christ Productions invite you to Built This City: An SF Pride Variety Spectacular. Join us for the official kickoff to Pride 2026, a full-throttle celebration of 50 Years of Queer San Francisco. We’re taking over the newly-renovated Castro Theatre for a one-night event that is as bold, brilliant, and beautifully queer as this city has always been. On the bill: this year’s Grand Marshals, celebrated on stage in the very neighborhood where so much of our history was made.
Hosted by the incomparable Peaches Christ and Honey Mahogany, the night features performances honoring the long legacy of queer activism, art, and entertainment that Built This City.
Every ticket is a direct investment in SF Pride’s mission to educate the world, commemorate our heritage, celebrate our culture, and liberate our people. You thought it was just a party? Think again.
🥂 VIP Early Entry | Doors at 5:30 PM | Limited space and going fast!
An exclusive pre-show party in the balcony with bites, beverages, bops, and the chance to meet this year’s Grand Marshals before the spotlight hits.
🎭 General Admission | Doors at 7 PM | Show starts at 7:45 PM
The official performance lineup includes:
MEMBERS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO GAY MEN’S CHORUS
DEAR SAN FRANCISCO
HAUS OF CREAM
Founded in 1978, The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus sparked a nationwide LGBTQ+ choral movement after its first public performance at a vigil on the steps of City Hall following the assassinations of Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. Since then, SFGMC has been embedded in the fabric of San Francisco. It has soothed souls in pain, lifted spirits in triumph, and has remained a steadfast beacon of hope. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer, Chris Verdugo and Artistic Director, Jacob Stensberg, SFGMC has established a heightened level of performance standards bringing renewed audience and choral industry acclaim. Recent touring schedules, recordings, and outreach programs have broadened its impact and reputation in the community while maintaining its signature blend of humor, personality and ground-breaking performances. In 2023, SFGMC opened a historic facility that has become its permanent home for rehearsals and offices. The building also serves as The Chan National Queer Arts Center, the first-ever community space for LGBTQ artists and arts organizations.
Since opening in September 2021, Dear San Francisco has performed over 1,300 performances and entertained over 175,000 locals and visitors. Hailed by critics as “breathtaking” (San Francisco Examiner), “explosive” (CultureVulture), and “a stunner” (Hoodline), the production invites locals and visitors alike on a heart-stopping romp through both the essence and the myth that has San Francisco indelibly etched on our collective imagination. From the 1906 earthquake and Summer of Love to beat poetry and the mysterious fog, San Francisco comes vividly to life through a series of tableaus (acts), including hoop diving, Chinese pole, Korean plank, juggling, and “hand-to-trap” (a form first created by Shana Carroll), performed by an international cast of world-class acrobats.
Born from the shadows of the Bay Area underground, Haus of Cream is a drag haus serving dark glamour, filthy camp, and theatrical chaos in dangerously high doses. Known for provocative looks, haunting performances, and a talent for turning every stage into a beautiful disaster, the Haus blends horror, humor, sex appeal, and absurdity into something impossible to ignore. Equal parts seductive and unhinged, Haus of Cream leaves audiences laughing, screaming, and begging for more.

PHILLIP R. FORD
SISTER ROMA
THE SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE
Producer, director and entertainer Phillip R. Ford served most of the 1980’s onstage as “honorary straight man” in the legendary San Francisco drag troupe Sluts-A-Go-Go. He produced and directed the celebrated cult film Vegas in Space, which created a sensation at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, was exhibited at festivals world-wide and was recently celebrated at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

“The Most Photographed Nun In The World”
Activist, Fundraiser, Actor, and Icon are just a few of the polite words used to describe Sister
Roma. For four decades Roma has been one of the most outspoken and globally recognized members of San Francisco’s Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. One of the city’s most colorful drag personalities, her unpredictable wit and colorful personality have placed her on the main stage at SF Pride, Folsom Street Fair, The S.F. Symphony, Hunky Jesus, and more. She has appeared in films, on television, on stage and is a frequent guest on podcasts and televised interviews. Keep up with Roma’s globetrotting antics on Instagram @Sister_Roma.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® are a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty.
Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency, and guilt that chain the human spirit.

COCKETTES NOUVEAU
BEBE SWEETBRIAR
THE CAST OF COMPTON’S CAFETERIA RIOT
Cockettes Nouveau is the next generation of Cockettes, led by original Cockette Scrumbly Koldewyn and produced by Dan Karkoska. The ensemble consists of members of Thrillpeddlers — Birdie Bob Watt, Noah Haydon, Bonnni Suval, Steven Satyricon, Eric Wertz — who were responsible for the revival of the Cockettes beginning in 2010, along with new blood dipping into the worlds of performance and rock with Erica Richardson and Ellie Stokes. Recently selling out their SF Sketchfest show in 2026, Cockettes Nouveau has been filling houses across the Bay Area and in NYC. Currently, with Spectrum Theatre, they are planning a revival of the Cockettes’ musical Vice Palace, which starred Divine, to expose a new audience to the legendary, gender-bending, psychedelic troupe.
The San Francisco-based drag chanteuse BeBe Sweetbriar has graced every notable stage in the City on the Bay and many stages around the World including Hong Kong, China. As award winning performer, Top 10 USA Dance Radio and Top 25 Billboard charting recording artist (UNITY, 2017), BeBe has been the opening act for Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland, TV’s Ugly Betty star Alec Mapa, Broadway-star and The Voice alum Frenchie Davis, Billboard Dance Divas Kristine W. and Luciana, and Punk Rock star Peaches.
BeBe has most recently been a featured subject in the nationally published “Legends of Drag: Queens of a Certain Age” which celebrates and gives trailblazing drag queens from across the U.S. their flowers. Simply put… There’s Nothing Sweeter Than Sweetbriar!
Co-written by Collette LeGrande, Donna Personna and Mark Nassar directed by Ezra Reaves. Produced by Tenderloin Museum and immersive pioneer, Mark Nassar. This immersive play tells the story of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history when trans women, drag queens, and sex workers fought back against constant police harassment in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. It happened three years before Stonewall, but most people still don’t know it. This play makes sure you do. We’ve been running for over a year to packed houses. And pancakes are included.

MISS X
HONEY MAHOGANY
PEACHES CHRIST
Miss X, born Dalton Bradley Chandler II in Cincinnati, Ohio, emerged as a defining force in San Francisco’s underground drag and performance scene as a core member of the legendary Sluts A Go-Go. After early years in Los Angeles and a formative move to San Francisco in 1973, a fateful introduction by Tippi to Doris Fish in 1979 led to an enduring creative partnership that helped shape queer cult performance history. Making a debut that same year as the enigmatic Miss X—originally conceived as heiress Helen Damnation in disguise—she quickly became indispensable to the troupe, bringing sharp cinematic sensibility, deep knowledge of classic Hollywood dialogue, and a commanding vocal presence. As the group’s principal singer, Miss X delivered standout moments including her performance of “Unforgettable” as Queen Veneer in Vegas in Space, cementing her legacy as a vital contributor to one of San Francisco’s most influential drag collectives. Now based in Phoenix, Arizona, her work remains a touchstone of queer performance art and DIY filmmaking history.
Honey Mahogany is a San Francisco–based drag performer, activist, and public servant whose work bridges nightlife, culture, and civic leadership. First gaining national attention as a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Honey has since become a vital force in the city’s LGBTQ+ community, serving as Executive Director of the San Francisco Office of Transgender Initiatives and formerly as a legislative aide in City Hall. A longtime performer and host at iconic venues like Oasis, she is also a community organizer and small business owner dedicated to preserving and uplifting queer spaces. Known for her warmth, intelligence, and commanding presence, Honey Mahogany continues to shape San Francisco’s cultural and political landscape with purpose and pride.
Peaches Christ is a San Francisco–based filmmaker, event producer, and theatre creator renowned for fusing drag, horror, and cult cinema into large-scale live experiences. In collaboration with PolyArts Management, she produces theatrical events with symphony orchestras worldwide, while also touring her drag parody spectaculars to sold-out audiences at iconic venues internationally. Peaches is the alter ego of filmmaker Joshua Grannell, writer and director of the cult feature film All About Evil starring Natasha Lyonne. He is also co-owner of Into The Dark, the company behind the award-winning Terror Vault at San Francisco’s historic San Francisco Mint. Across film, stage, and live events, Peaches has built a global following and continues to expand her creative footprint, including co-hosting the cult movie podcast Midnight Mass.
