Formerly an illustrator and painter, Gary Barnes has been a full-time drag artist for around two years. While stumbling upon the eighth-season finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2016 as a Clackamas High School student, Barnes realized they wanted to become a drag performer. They first started in the scene in 2018 at 19 years old, when drag artist Miss Bee Haven reached out regarding an all-ages performance happening at Darcelle XV Showplace. Since then, they’ve worked on projects like Seattle’s traveling Dungeons and Drag Queens and Hot Chocolate PDX, a show about Portland’s Black drag history.
Lyta Blunt is a proudly black trans and disabled DJ and multi-hyphenated clubkid based in PDX. Throwing some of the largest qtbipoc events in the city; Lyta is hell-bent on creating danceable spaces that center black and brown queer people, music, and culture, while creating places to celebrate inclusion and non-conformity. Growing up listening to countless hours of her uncles’ live dancehall mixtapes, their goals of DJing started early, and they have been making rooms move all over Oregon for the last three years. Still a self-proclaimed beginner with half-a-decade in the scene, Lyta is Portland’s Professional Party Girl and looks forward to being a part of the present— and future — of PDX’s party and club scene!
Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
