Returning in Oct 2010
President Red Hot Annie and Vice President Dick Dijon cordially invite you to the inaugural graduation ceremony for Vaudezilla’s Monster Burlesque Academy!
The Monster Burlesque Academy prides itself on a devilish dedication to the joint disciplines of sexy and scary. The Class of 2009 has made us proud, and we feel they will offer a shriek-inducing legacy for many years to come. To commemorate this auspicious occasion, the MBA has chosen the majestic Portage Theatre to host the frighteningly fabulous festivities.
Prior to the show, grab a cold alcoholic beverage from the concession stand and take a stroll around the grand lobby of Portage Theater to peruse costumes, adult goodies, and more from our sponsors.
The ceremony begins promptly at 10pm, and your admission fee is $15 in advance, or $20 at the door. Each paid ticket enters you into a free raffle to win one of over $400 worth of prizes, including:
Cahoots Handbags ($140 value)
Burlesque Classes at Demaira Dance ($90 value)
Adult Goodies from Lisa Hulls Surprise Parties ($75 value)
Goodie Bag from Chicago Outfit Roller Derby ($50 value)
and many more surprises!
Costume Contest: Halloween costumes are encouraged, the person with the best costume (by audience selection, so bring your friends!) will win a $100 Early 2 Bed gift bag plus additional goodies!
REVIEWS
"Infamous Burlesque troupe shows off its Ghoulish Side"
- Katie Fanuko, TheChiGuide
Vaudezilla's Monster Burlesque Acacdemy is "...a treat for adults only with a modern spin on the art of burlesque, and a nice dose of Gothic spookiness."
- K.D. Hopkins, The Urban Coaster
Barry R. Bone's Burlesque Brothel is "...pretty good stuff...a much brainier night out than, say, Crobar's Pimps and Hos Party."
- Fred Schlatter, Chicago Nightlife Examiner
