BRINGING ART TO THE PEOPLE, AFFORDABLY
1 note &
The show show was inspired by my intense Shakespeare-nerdery. From the age of 10 to the age of 17 I went to Shakespeare camp every summer. I played Hamlet in high school. I took the Shakespeare and Company month long intensive when I graduated from college. I just fucking LOVE Shakespeare. I think it’s really emotionally rich and fun and visceral and sexy, much like burlesque. So, once I started doing burlesque, especially nerdy burlesque, it was only a matter of time before I put the two together. When I started getting glimpses of my fellow burlesquer’s acting chops and theatre backgrounds I decided it was time to showcase their more classical performing talents alongside their nightlife skills.

WATCH: (NSFW) Peg-ass-us Trailer
A hilariously penetrating look at queer sex for straight folks, complete with sing-a-longs, how-to’s, romance, puppets and soul-baring striptease. Created by John Leo and Sophie Nimmannit, this beginner’s guide - stuffed with toys and songs - goes off-script with a lover’s quarrel that tickles qualms, exposes scruples, liberates desire and comes to a climax where everyone gets off! Tickets on sale now at Brown Paper Tickets!
Why not grab the the double header pricing for both Peg-ass-us and Handshake Uppercut for $20 instead! Two shows, so many LOLs.
