There are a few offerings that are not burlesque shows, but feature some of our favorite local burlesque personalities:
Where The Hell’s The Bridesmaid????? (Featuring Daisy Bucket)
Where The Hell’s The Bridesmaid????? Bride demands the perfect wedding. But how can it be perfect when Bridesmaid is missing - shortly followed by the minister? Did Bridesmaid have one too many? Did someone give Bridesmaid one too many - with a "twist"? Is Bridesmaid really dead? A guest list full of amateur sleuths surely guarantees a confession - or something close to it. One murderer? Two murderers? No murderer? Coincidence? Connection? Chaos ensues as each sets out to prove who done it while digging up some deeply buried secrets. As more questions are raised than are answered, each guest sets out to prove they couldn't have done it all the while keeping Bridesmaid "alive" so as to not ruin Bride's perfect day. But what are they to do when the mansions [sic] master keels over - right in front of the bride?
