Yule, Y’all! marks a decade with two performances at Neighborhood Theatre in NoDa on Dec. 4 and 5, 2026. Doors open at 7 p.m.; the show begins at 8 p.m. General admission is $30, with reserved seating listed at $40. The Charlotte Observer reported the anniversary dates and ticket prices.
The production, titled Yule Y’all! 10: A Decade of Decking Your Halls, is an original Christmas drag variety show created by Ryan Stamey and Anthony Brummett, who perform as Robyn O’Ladies and Charlotte Douglas. The Observer describes the show as a mix of sketch comedy, live singing, original songs, parodies and Christmas classics. The anniversary edition is expected to combine new material with selections from earlier shows, according to the paper.
A theater setting, with a neighborhood history
The move to Neighborhood Theatre places a show that began in a Plaza Midwood bar in a venue with a different kind of history. Neighborhood Theatre says its building opened as the Astor Theatre, a movie house, in 1945 and was converted into a live performance venue in 1997. The Observer has reported that the venue has two stages and a capacity of 956; that is the venue’s reported capacity, not a stated ticket count for either Yule, Y’all! performance.
The show’s early format was more modest: the Observer reported that its first edition was staged at Petra’s in 2016 as a free charity event, with door proceeds in those early years going to RAIN, a local HIV/AIDS nonprofit. RAIN describes its work as supporting people living with HIV and those at risk; its current services include help accessing medical care and medication, as well as emergency assistance for essentials such as rent, utilities and food. RAIN’s description of its work provides context for that early connection, but the available event information does not say that the 2026 anniversary shows will benefit the organization.
What is known about the performers
The Observer identifies Stamey and Brummett as real-life brothers. The performers’ website, meanwhile, describes Robyn O’Ladies and Charlotte Douglas as biological women and real-life sisters. Those descriptions conflict; the materials reviewed do not resolve how the website’s wording is intended.
The anniversary run is a chance to see how a local holiday production has changed venues while retaining its drag-variety format. Neither the venue’s reported capacity nor the show’s decade-long history establishes that these performances are sold out or that the current edition repeats the charitable arrangement of its early years.
