A drag performance planned as part of a "Drag Queen Bingo" night at the Downers Grove Public Library is being promoted to children in grades 7-12.

The show is being hosted by drag queen "Aurora Devine."

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

"Join Aurora Divine for some classic bingo! Multiple games will be played for prizes with a short drag performance included," the event landing page reads.

The host is known for putting on an adult act across the Chicagoland area.

On Sept. 1, Aurora Divine is scheduled to host "Drag Bingo" at My Buddy's, a bar on Chicago's North Side. An advertisement for the event promises "a Raucous Raunchy Time Had by All!!” Tickets are $6.

In March, Aurora Divine hosted a "Balls out" Drag Queen Bingo at Charlie's Chicago, a bar in the city's Boystown neighborhood. The appearance was sponsored by Steam Works Baths, a nearby "gay sauna.”

"Aurora Devine" is the stage name of Tyler "TyTy" Reviglio, a 31 year-old wig stylist and self-described "Musical Theatre McGyver" from Peru, in LaSalle County, 100 miles west of Chicago.

According to his company web site, Reviglio has worked for community theaters in the LaSalle-Peru area, including in high schools and junior high schools. He graduated from Educators of Beauty Cosmetology School in 2007.

According to his Tik-Tok page, Reviglio now lives in west suburban Elmwood Park. 

The Downers Grove Public Library Board includes six members— President Swapna Gigani (Age 43, Democrat), Carissa Dougherty (44, Democrat), David Humphreys (80, Democrat), Barnali Khuntia (48, Democrat), and William T. Nienburg (53, Republican), all of Downers Grove. One seat is vacant.
