Drag comedienne and emcee of Karaoke Wednesdays in the WAVE Video Bar, SHADY PINES, is one of the stars of "Illusions" at the Crown and Anchor where she is returning for her second season. She can often be found performing late nights at Provincetown's local bars where she created "Shady Pines' Ass Wednesdays." This year she will also be hosting Drag Brunch every Sunday at Victor's restaurant in Provincetown's West End. Before making her mark in Provincetown, Shady Pines was the hostess and organizer of Gay Bingo Philadelphia, one of the largest HIV/AIDS fundraisers of its kind in the country. Shady Pines is a classically trained "actress" with a degree in theatre from Boston University's School for the Arts, making her one of the few drag queens equally at home on the Shakespearean stage or boozily lip-synching in a gay nightclub. As the Philadelphia Inquirer once described her, "Shady Pines is both gorgeous and raunchy. She has legs like Cyd Charisse's and a waist like Scarlett O'Hara's. Black bouffant hair like Gina Lollobrigida's and awning eyelashes as fabulous as Tammy Faye Baker's. Her face is as fine as Nicole Kidman's before Botox. And her mouth? Oh mercy."
