Spice Up Your V-Day Weekend!
February 13th- 19th, 2025
Hello Burlesque Fans!
We are coming up to one of the most divisive holidays of the year! Do you celebrate Valentines???
Also, I wanna just put in here that we now have a SPONSORS page! We have two founding members at the moment, and I thought it only appropriate to show them a little love by linking their info! Check it out! If you want to be featured as a sponsor, simply upgrade to the Founding Paid Subscription, and I’ll reach out to get your info!
Upcoming Support Opportunities!
Black History month!
February is Black History Month! Which means there are going to be several productions centering Black performers that need your support! They need your support all year round, but lets give them a little boost before February hits, anyway, yes?
Non-exhaustive list of all Black shows that could still use your support:
RIP Your Heart Out! (Feb 20th, Denver)
TOKYN/ToeKING's BHM Late Nite FreakFest (Feb 28th, Denver)
Know of more shows for me to throw on this list? Let me know!!! Support by way of your money/resources/etc. is useful for productions featuring under-represented demographics all year round! Keep supporting after February is over too!
