Four stages will keep Cleveland Pride jumping

by Dan Kilbane

Cleveland-Voinovich Park in downtown Cleveland will be the site for national and local entertainment acts at the Cleveland Pride festival, held June 16. Join the

Jason Stuart

Northeast Ohio LGBT community for the nautical theme "Cruising with Pride," providing family-friendly fun. Featured entertainers include Logo cable channel reality stars Nemesis and comedian Jason Stuart, along with singers Doria Roberts and Eric Himan, the band Rebel Girl, performance troupe Lava Love, and local favorite singer Lounge Kitty.

The entertainment is continuous on four stages, and also include the reggae/calypso band Nuhu and rock/funk/hip/folk band Everygirl.

Marching bands with color guards total three: the Blazing River Freedom Band, the Pride of Indy Band and Color Guard, and the Great Lakes Pride Band from Lansing, Michigan. The national anthem will be sung by Cleveland mainstays, the North Coast Men's Chorus.

Appearing with style, grace and sass is local drag act the Pussy Cats (which features Payje Turner, Kari Nickels, Shari Turner, Jaime Lynn Versace and Akashia). On the other side of the coin are the legendary male

drag act Cleveland Kings. The Cleveland City Country Dancers and the Rainbow Wranglers will not only perform, but conduct dance lessons.

The Pussy Cats will be complimented by "Life's a Drag," which features pageant winners Paije Passion, Monica St. James, Keke Valasquez Lord, Brionna Brooks, Krystal Stone, Strawballa Be Agoddess, Mahogany Reason and Devinity.

No Pride event would be complete without a DJ. Cleveland Pride is lucky to once again have DJ Chris Arthur on the dance stage.

As an actor and comedian Jason Stuart has become one of the top touring openly gay performers in the country. Television appearances include Will and Grace and My Wife and Kids.

spirit while Jacob is focused, and together they deliver fresh melodies and were the subject of a 2006 Logo reality show. Their current hit song is "Number One in Heaven."

A regular on the national singer-songwriter circuit, Doria Roberts creates songs that have been described as "a delicious, bohemian blend of folk, jazz and pop." Doria's versatility as a songwriter and entertainer is never lost and always hits home. Singer-songwriter Eric Himan lives by the motto "Don't ask me where I'm from, ask me where I'm going," and the road of life is bringing him back to Cleveland. In the five years since he first appeared on Cleveland Pride stage, his unique genre-bending sound has taken him down many roads and brought him many awards.

Cleveland power trio Rebel Girl will rock the main stage. Releasing their debut album, winning Cleveland's "Battle for Myspace," and being awarded Free Times' "Punk Band of the Year" puts them on the verge of rock-n-roll history.

Lava Love is a troupe of performance artists committed to developing original theatrical productions that combine dance, theater and acrobatics, integrating athletic physicality, intellectual rigor, social com-
