Wreckage: The Final Contest Show
Great Scott (NOT JACQUES!)
1222 Comm. Ave. Allston
doors: 8pm show: 9pm
18+ $8-10 sliding

"Some drag is about impersonation, impressions, and
imitation. Our drag is about innovation, invention and
irreverent gender(fuck) performance. "
Truth Serum and Heywood Wakefield started TraniWreck,
the all gender, all genre cabaret show, in August 2004
and by February 2005 the show had spawned a second
show called Wreckage: The Contest Show. At the final
round of Wreckage 2005 we crowned Windsor Newton
"Boston's Biggest Wreck" and awarded him $500 in cash
and prizes. The show was so huge and successful, with
300 people passing through the doors (but not
necessarily being able to see the stage!), that this
year we decided to take the 2006 final round to a
larger club. Great Scott is 18+, open until 2am, has
great sight lines and a slammin' sound system. After
the contest/show we'll be dancing and celebrating to
DJ D'hana's mix of indie/electro/ hip hop/punk/soul.
Six preliminary rounds starting in April 2006 and
ending in September 2006 yielded 11 contestants for
Wreckage: The Final Round. Each contestant will be
performing two pieces and will be judged by a panel of
celebrity judges based on set criteria as well as
audience response. We take trashiness very seriously!
The winner will be awarded $500 in cash and prizes.
And will be crowned "Boston's Biggest Wreck 2006."
The show will also feature performances by the
TraniWreck cast and some of our celebrity judges as
well.
Our celebrity judges are: Hilken Mancini of
Shepherdess, Dave Geissler of Musk and Varietae, Vice
V'ersitile of Varietae, The (former) Haiku King
(TraniWreck cast member first season), Frankie
Cocktail and Mal from Queer Soup, and our accountant
Tibbs.
"...Wreckage, likely the most surreal event Boston has
to offer, remains a must see, where creativity and
eccentricity rule the night." Bay Windows April 28,
2005

Results of the preliminary contests and photos of the
contestants.
Truth Serum Productions will be producing TraniWreck
and Wreckage: The Contest Show at new venues around
town after this big Wreckage blow out at Great Scott!
We had a great run at Jacque's but the cast and
audience have expanded so much that we need to find a
new home. We have some options to consider and we'll
be making announcements at the show on the 20th.

and Wreckage's brand of all gender, all genre
performance cabaret can't be replicated by others
elsewhere!
Another related note: The Transgender Day of
Remembrance (generally held on November 20th every
year) was set aside to memorialize those who were
killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.
The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester,
whose murder in 1998 kicked off the " Remembering Our
Dead" web project and a San Francisco candlelight
vigil in 1999. Since then, the event has grown to
encompass memorials in dozens of cities across the
world. Rita Hester's murder - like most
anti-transgender murder cases - has yet to be solved.
Boston's Day or Remembrance will be held on November
19. details can be found at http://www.masstpc. org/tp
. We will be doing something to commemorate the day at
Wreckage.
