58th Annual Titans of Tease Reunion Showcase (Friday, June 5)

The TITANS OF TEASE stars legendary stripteasers–”Vintage Vixens”–who made burlesque history shimmying their way across the finest stages in America and the world! An ode to vintage-style striptease in all its risqué glory, the Reunion Showcase has its roots in the annual dancers’ gatherings started in 1957 by Jennie Lee, founder of the Exotic Dancers League (EDL) and Burlesque Hall of Fame.

Make no mistake: The Legends are the heart-and-soul of the Burlesque Hall of Fame, of the Weekender, and, fundamentally, of the art of burlesque itself. We’ll also name the 2015 Legend of the Year!

Scheduled to Appear:

We’ll also host the 5th Annual Legends Walk of Fame, hosted by Mat Fraser and starring…

Our emcee, of course, is none other than The World Famous *BOB*. And she expects to see you there.
