Sunday, April 20, 2025 | Show at 7:30 pm | Doors at 7:00 pm
Venue: Echo Theater: 1515 SE 37th Ave, Portland, OR 97214
Strap on your frilliest bonnet and join the queer congregation this Easter Sunday for the release of Selene Latrine’s Outhouse Zine Issue #4. To celebrate, we’re giving you a fully immersive psychedelic service and drag spectacle for the ages.
This installment of Outhouse imagines a world where the tales of Easter, the Christian canon, and its culture are populated with divine queer and trans characters. We’re the Church of Outhouse, a mega church that centers nature, indulgence, revelry, love, and “sin.”
Writhe joyfully and lift your voice to our album of originally recorded hymns. Bear witness as celestial entities make themselves known among us. Peruse and tithe for our newest issue, a delight for the eyes chock full of collage created by our miraculous cast (and available for only $7 at the show!)

Background about Outhouse: Selene Latrine's Outhouse Zine is a queer publication that's over-the-top, bombastic, fun, and eschews conventional separations of art forms. Each zine contains artwork (essays, song lyrics, comics, collage) by local Portland drag artists reflecting on a theme. Each issue wraps with an epic release party where each contributor has an opportunity to add performance elements to their piece. So far, we've published three issues: Outhouse #1: Arms and Legs; Outhouse #2 Bitchowar (a doggy metal parody zine;) and Outhouse #3 ads...Ads...ADS!!!
Selene Latrine’s Outhouse Zine is honored to be funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council and the Office of Arts & Culture.
