Shantaé Morgan On Wednesday, the nonprofit Dallas Hope Charities (DHC) announced the date for its second annual drag show Shantaé’s Cabaret.

Shantaé’s Cabaret will be held at Sue Ellen’s on Aug. 27 at 6 p.m. “We chose to support Dallas Hope Charities because of their unwavering commitment to uplifting and empowering the LGBTQIA+ community,” Jason Hanna, co-founder of The Teddy Bear Party said in a press release. “Together, we can make a meaningful impact and create a more inclusive and compassionate society.” DHC’s mission is to provide food, shelter and services for the LGBTQIA community.
The center also operates the Dallas Hope Center, transitional living center for queer young adults. DHC hosts the educational series Hopeful Discussions and runs the Collective Hope Coalition, a resource of basic needs for the community.
