Elizabeth Lord is many things:  bartender, storyteller, gifted actor - and, once a year, Lord Franzannian, the gruff but lovable drag host of Oly's premier vaudeville revue. Now in its fifth year, Lord Franzannian's Royal Olympian Spectacular Vaudeville Show promises a, "fast paced variety show" with "a little something for everyone." Will this mean jugglers? Probably. Contortionists? Perhaps. Rampant fun? Almost certainly. Proceeds benefit BigShowCity, a non-profit Performing Arts Organization that supports and helps finance burgeoning artists. This year's show runs Sept. 23-25, 30 and Oct. 1-2. An all-ages performance is scheduled for Oct. 2 at 4 p.m.

[Midnight Sun Performance Space, Friday-Sunday 8 p.m., 10 p.m. Saturday, $15-$25, 113 N. Columbia St., Olympia]
