Boxxa Vine is a Pittsfield-based drag queen and costume creator with a flair for the dramatic and theatrical. A self-taught seamstress who has worked on pieces that have appeared locally, across the country, and on shows such as RuPaul’s Drag Race, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, and The View, she is also a six-time pageant title holder (Miss Gay: Western MA, Boston, Central NY, Camp Capital NY, Werrrk.com, and Berkshire). She spends most of her free time trying to get new and exciting drag events going around the Berkshires through her business Out of the Boxxa Productions.

Boxxa Vine devotes her time to giving back to the community by serving as a board member for Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition and as the director of entertainment for Berkshire Pride, as well as trying to support and foster safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people to explore drag as a way of self-expression.
