A Star-Studded Evening
The night will kick off with a red carpet “Walk of Fame” entrance! Every guest has the chance to catwalk their attire as a Hollywood star. Come dressed up in classic Old Hollywood elegance, ballroom couture, or your own unique style, the spotlight is yours, hun!
Enjoy a soundtrack curated by Oxford’s favorite, DJ Renee, who will keep the dance floor alive with a Hollywood mix of hits. Throughout the night, prepare to be starstruck by epic drag performances by the Cincinnati-famous P.H. Dee, and local legend Roxie D. Mocracy. These queens are ready to light up the ballroom with their charming wit, glamour, and talents.
Introducing P.H. Dee
“A Cincinnati-based drag queen, P.H. Dee (she/her) began her career in October 2018. Her stage name comes from her experience as a graduate student at Miami University, where she graduated with her master’s in August 2016 and stuck around for (half of) her PhD. During that time, she founded the Graduate Student Pride Association, a campus organization specifically for queer graduate students. Her first time in drag was during a fundraiser for the organization, and she’s been twirling ever since.
In the following six years, she has won an Outstanding Newcomer award, two pageants, and an artist residency, not to mention having served as co-entertainment director at two of Cincinnati’s LGBTQ+ bars. She continues to produce pop-up shows at various venues in the Cincinnati area and books a number of guest appearances at regional drag shows and events like these!”
A Night for the Community
Pride Prom will be a celebration of identity, inclusion, and belonging. Designed to bring together LGBTQ+ individuals and allies not only from the Oxford area but also from surrounding communities. We hope this celebration will connect, celebrate, and create memories that will last a lifetime in a space where everyone is welcome to be their authentic selves. Come as you are, or dazzle the crowd, either way, we’re here for you!

“Walk of Fame” Sponsors
As we prepare to celebrate this inaugural Pride Prom with a glamorous Hollywood theme, we want to acknowledge the devastating wildfires that have affected Hollywood and Los Angeles community members.
