. My whole thought process was that certain entertainers in Denver were with me a lot at Lucid, so I wanted these first few months to include those entertainers, then I'm going to start reaching out to others as well," she explains.
Kash was fast-tracked into the Denver drag scene because she already had relationships with several established performers willing to give her a shot, so hosting open-stage nights is her way of paying it forward. At Drafted, not only do new entertainers get the chance to cut their teeth on stage, but they also get to network with people like Kash, and the ensuing conversations could potentially lead to larger, paid bookings. "I've seen what a difference it makes.
But the goal of Drafted is bigger than just uplifting individual performers. As with Glow Up, Drafted doubles as a way to raise money for local nonprofits that benefit the queer community. Kash always holds at least two donation rounds throughout the night for whatever organization she's chosen to work with that month.
As far as the future of Drafted goes, Laine and Kash hope that the show draws enough of a crowd to ultimately become a more frequent event."The goal would be to eventually get back to being weekly or biweekly," says Laine.
