Keystone Burlesque & Variety Festival Teaser Weekend

There are burlesque festivals in almost every state — and now Pennsylvania is joining the party. The inaugural Keystone Burlesque and Variety Festival launches with a Teaser Weekend event in Pittsburgh May 24-25, 2024. The showcases will take place in the city’s Allentown neighborhood, at the Storyville Lounge (a speakeasy behind Dr. Tumblety’s Time-Inspired Specialty Shop) and new Spirits Distillery next door. The Keystone Festival will feature two showcases on the Spirits Distillery stage – each show will feature different casts of Pennsylvania performers, as well as acts from across North America. After each show, there will be a private party in the Storyville Lounge with intimate performances and hand-crafted, Prohibition-style cocktails. Audience members will be encouraged to come dressed for a Prohibition party on Friday and for a Vegas-style Rat Pack bash on Saturday. Audiences will not want to miss a single show or party! The event will be hosted by the local award-winning variety troupe the Velvet Hearts! “Burlesque has been around since the Victorian era, changing and evolving,” says Velvet Hearts! Manager Sara Bellum. “It's going to be amazing to have so many stages of that evolution represented by unique performers from our area. So much talent and history in one weekend. It's going to be an incredible experience!” Tickets for the Keystone Teaser Weekend are on sale now at https://velvet-hearts-red-light.eventbrite.com. The festival is also looking for sponsors and vendors. Questions about the festival can be sent to producers at [email protected]. Media contact: Velvet Hearts!
