shanmonster | Burlesque and Revue Royale

I've been busy with burlesquerie. The other night, I hung out with Terre (the troupe director) until 2am hashing out details, and coming up with a map of the next year and a half. Revue Royale, Kitchener's burlesque troupe, has a tentative performance schedule.

The first two events (February and April) are set and booked. After that, the schedule is subject to change:

At the Rum Runner (1 King Street West, Kitchener, ON), 8 pm:

February 13/14: A History of Burlesque
April 24/25: Dancing Fool

----------

The following events are tentative and subject to change, but we thought you'd love a sneak preview of what may be in store:

May: Mother May I
June: Twins 2 for 1
July: Painted Ladies - Avant Garde Art
August: Unhinged? Circus burlesque shadowplay
September: Strange Brew
November 6/7: Sacrilicious
December: Christmahannukwanzaa Yulede: The Most Inclusive Event of All!
January: Year of the Pussy (Cat)
February: Lubricalia
March: Dungeons and Drag Shows
April: Algebra and Panties
May: Bits, Bytes, and Nibbles
June: Apocalypse Then
July: Fallout - The Bomb Show

Revue Royale is still looking for talent. If you live in the area and are interested in helping out, let me know! In particular, we could really use comedians and ventriloquists. If you have trained poodles, that would be pretty keen, too! So would contortionists and acrobats. The August event is likely an outdoor one, so we can use more outdoorsy performers, such as fire dancers.

We're also looking for behind-the-scenes people: front of house, promotion, photographers, ticket sales, costume designers, sound and lighting, makeup artists, etc.

We are making this a cross-community endeavour. We work with other events and festivals (such as the recent Cliterature), and help promote other related groups (costume designers, bands, roller derbies, etc.). We scratch your back, you scratch ours. It feels sooo good!
