THE RUBI GIRLS STORY
Who would believe that in the conservative Midwest, a group of friends in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s attract sold-out crowds to their charity-driven, comedic drag performances?
What started in living rooms and attics over 30 years ago has evolved into a FUNdraising phenomenon. Known throughout Ohio as the Rubi Girls, this dynamic, close-knit troupe of professionals has been performing since the late 1980’s. Comprised of business owners, a filmmaker, a graphic designer, an IT director, a merchandise manager, a make-up artist, cosmetologists, hairstylists, and educators, the group began performing for one another in an attic during college. What started on Rubicon Street has grown into a frenzy for seating arrangements upon the announcement of a show.
The Rubi Girls are proud to announce that they have now helped to raise over $2,000,000 for HIV/AIDS and LGBTQIA-related causes!
