“Do you want to live deliciously?” Then gather with us for an evening of sinister and sexy performance at BURLESQUE BABES IN THE WOODS: A Folk Horror Cabaret! Inspired by all the faves that made you scared of nature—from the woods off The VVitch to the hills of Midsommar to the haunt of your favorite local legend—we’re making folklore way more fabulous. You won’t want to stay out of the forest after BURLESQUE BABES IN THE WOODS! Our beautiful cast will enrapture you with the eerie, earthy, and untamed. Performances so powerful you’ll be willing to sacrifice yourself to unnamed ancient forces from deep within the earth!! But never fear! Our host and stage kitten know the safe trail through the mist and glitter and ghosts. They will show you the way and spare you from anything too scary in our risqué ritual…er, we mean, revue ;) So dig your toes into the rich dirt, get dirty, and join us in the shadows at Open Barre Burlesque’s BURLESQUE BABES IN THE WOODS!
