This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on, while the performers are taking theirs off for YOU! Audiences are encouraged to hoot, holler and spur them on in their tantalizing strip tease performances, that range from classic glove and garter peels to crazy comedic takes on pop culture icons! If you have never experienced a burlesque performance or even if you have, this is THE Burlesque event of the year!
We are proud and excited to announce we will have ASL interpreters all 3 nights of the Festival!
