History

The club opened in 1967. In June 2020, the venue was nominated for national historic registry status by the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation, marking the first time an LGBTQ-related establishment was considered in Oregon.[1] The site was listed in November 2020.[2] The venue launched drag brunch in September.[3] Darcelle XV, the founder and namesake of the showplace, died of natural causes at the age of 92 in March 2023.[4]

From July 10 through July 12, 2023, Darcelle XV Showplace hosted a 48-hour Drag-a-thon attempting to break the Guinness World Records for longest drag artist stage show.[5] In addition to attempting to break the world record, the event also raised money for the nonprofit The Trevor Project that provides crisis intervention services for LGBTQ youth.[5][6]

Cast members have included Alexis Campbell Starr, Bolivia Carmichaels, and Poison Waters.

Reception
