You’re invited to attend the filthiest and most fabulous (well, ok... the only) burlesque show left standing after the crackdown on explicit, illicit pansy and strip shows. And lucky you, you’ve caught our final performance. We’ve got the cops on our asses, but we’ll make sure you get first dibs… Come see how (or if) we last the night!

The Female Pharaoh Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple was discovered in 1927 by a really white and very male Egyptologist in the most offensively Khaki outfit you have ever seen. He and his White Male Egyptologist friends decided that Hatshepsut was the ultimate evil queen as she clearly had deceived her subjects into thinking they had a very male king, she obviously kept her young virile step-son from his rightful throne, and was probably super queer. But Hatshepsut’s legacy speaks for itself. Or she hopes it does. Hatshepsut and her Close Female Friend Who Slept in Her Bed and was Buried Alongside Her ushered in an age of flourishing art, architecture, wealth, extravagance, and women in positions of incredible power. So yeah, I guess that would translate as “evil" to a knobby kneed white dude and his buds. His Majesty, Herself rediscovers Hatshepsut’s 20 year reign over Upper and Lower Egypt through a modern lens.

Star of Lennox is a contemporary ensemble musical (4 lead characters, with a chorus of at least 6) set in London at the end of the 19th century. Celia Lennox is the headliner of the failing Joie de Vivre Music Hall Club in London when aspiring composer Jasper Lamoureaux falls in love-at-first-sight with the club and the girl. It slowly becomes clear that Jasper isn’t the ingénue he presents himself to be. When Celia finds herself metaphorically trapped in Jasper’s clutches (by way of a coaxed and rushed marriage), Jasper decides the only way to rid himself of the wife he no longer desires is to send her to a Woman’s Asylum for Hysteria. Act Two of this play is experimental and sound/movement based, as it follows Celia’s experience in the asylum and her journey to her breaking point.
