Darcelle XV’s Showplace, a legendary drag venue in Portland, said on Facebook Monday that it will stay open but under new ownership, less than five months after announcing it was in risk of closing.
Following Walter Cole’s death in 2023, the club was held by his children, popularly known as Darcelle XV. Cole performed at the club just over a week before he passed away, and at 92, he claimed the Guinness World Record as the oldest drag queen in the world.
