They are intended to inspire growth, ingenuity, creativity, and excellence. They are meant to encourage keen observation, and honest critique within the context of community.

Nouveau Macabre: The Art Deco Halloween-inspired Meet & Greet/Lounge

Friday, November 13th @ 6pm

Calling all glamour ghouls, this year's meet & greet is sure to be wickedly delightful. Come in your finest vintage looks, Halloween costume or a clever combination! At nouveau macabre we will be continuing the most wonderful time of the year with everything Halloween-y with a dash of the vintage for something entirely new. This elegantly mellow atmosphere will focus on the spectacle of fashion and kindling connections for the jump-start of the weekend. There will be a few tricks and many treats!

Debate

Saturday, November 14th @ 1pm

The debate you actually want to watch! The first ever BurlyCon debate will finally address the pressing topics that us burlesquers have agonized over centuries, millennia even! Once and for all the 2020 BurlyCon Debate will settle Leopard or Giraffe print? Feeling Good or Nasty Naughty Boy? All will be unpacked (unlike your show bag by the door) as we watch strippers go toe to toe armed with nothing but rhetoric, rhinestones, and fabric!

Hosted by Rebecca MmDavis.

Panelists include Scarlett Letter, Bianca Coal and Crystal Mischief.

Fun, Costume and Community. 

Listen as Pastor Kaleb shares and explores what is sacred and not-so-sacred on stage and backstage.
Wear your Sunday best because it's 2020 and anything can happen!
