« Review: Eye of the Sandman, Split Pillow Productions Oprah Ending Her Show: Bad for Chicago »

Performance Fri Nov 20 2009

World Premiere: The Knock Knock Hot Spot

Saturday night, director and performer Mae Phillips gathers her friends in the burlesque community for a night billed as "bizarre, theatrical, empowering burlesque". The event is queer-friendly, involves a wide variety of bodies and definitions of "sexy", and lots of crystal-covered tease. Plus it offers a few departures from the genre.

Details in Slowdown.
