Lord of the Butterflies is Off-Center @ The Jones’ homage to the DCPA Theatre Company’s mainstage presentation of Lord of the Flies. In local Drag Queen Shirley Delta Blow’s silly retelling of the classic novel, a plane trip gone terribly wrong strands Shirley and fellow queens Zoe O, Olive de Bottom and Dan D Lite on a deserted island. All they have to survive on is their wits, fabulous wardrobes and fellow passengers: Lesbians named Jackie, Simone and Rachel.

In this outrageous re-telling, the struggle for island dominance comes complete with delightful dancing, magnificent musical performances, irreverent improvisation … and lots of glitter. The cast also features Sarah Kirwin, Jessica Robblee and Mara Wiles. The show was conceived by Emily Tarquin, developed by Stuart Sanks and directed by Michael Emmitt. Costumes by Meghan Anderson Doyle.

The Nov. 7 performance is sold out. So your last chance to see Lord of the Butterflies is tonight, Oct. 31, at 8 p.m.
