Greetings, Ladies and Gents!

It's with great pride and enthusiasm that I invite you to join us at the PA Burlesque Festival! June 29 through July1, 2012, we're going to strut our stuff in the City of Brotherly Love. After two successful, magical years as the Jim Thorpe Burlesque Festival, we quickly outgrew our hometown.  Our journey to find a new home caused us to expand to reach the entire state of Pennsylvania, and landed us in Philidelphia.

The TLA, where our shows will be held, is a legendary intimate venue. Located on historic, hip South Street, the TLA offers our fans two bars, a great view of the stage from all seats, and several prices for seating options. Stay after the shows, because the TLA is hosting our After Parties! Enjoy a drink and mingle with our Burlesque stars!

To make an entire weekend of it, stay and play at the Hampton Inn at 1301 Race Street. There, you can school your inner DIVA by taking Burlesque classes, workshops, and lectures presented by our professional, knowledgable performers. And no Glamazon is complete until she's found the right accoutrements! Shop our BURLESQUE BAZAAR for everything you need to stand out in the crowd.

Don't want to go alone? Don't worry! Our shows appeal to men and women, married, single, and of all pursuasions. We guarantee that even the most tightly-laced person will be smiling and having the time of their lives by intermission! So, gather up your girls, round up your buddies, and let us take you to a place where everything is fun and beautiful, and where the world outside can wait.

Very Truly Yours,

Madame Corsetiere
