Zoom trivia night is a fundraiser to suppoort the State Theatre

The State Theatre in New Brunswick announced an online Trivia Night for Wednesday, August 19 at 7pm with drag hostess Pissi Myles. Proceeds raised during the zoom challenge will support State Theatre’s Community Engagement programs.

The trivia challenge will cover the music, movies, musicals, and pop culture of the early 2000s. The trivia will be composed of 60 multiple choice questions. The first-place winner gets a $150 State Theatre gift certificate and the second-place winner gets a State Theatre swag bag.

Online Trivia Night will be hosted on Zoom on each participant’s desktop computer and played on a smartphone-based trivia game.

Drag comedian and singer, Pissi Myles will host the evening of trivia. Myles is the 2014, Cycle 4 winner of Mimi Imurst’s Philly Drag Wars and earned the title of Best Drag Hostess in Philadelphia in 2014 at the Beacon Lights Awards. She produced a series of comedy shows and has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Billboard, Out In Jersey and Huffington Post.

In 2019, Myles partnered with the streaming news app Happs to cover Donald Trump’s impeachment. Donning a red mini dress and a patriotic updo, Myles caused a stir on Capitol Hill, leading to stories from The Washington Post, NBC, and The New York Post.
