About this Event
The Nutcracker: A Burlesque
A ballet disaster. A stranded burlesque troupe. A holiday fundraiser gone hilariously off-script.
Celebrating its 18th season!
THE SHOW MUST GO ON. BLESS THEIR HEARTS.
The women of the Beulaville Baptist Book Club have a financial crisis and a perfectly respectable plan: save the day with a fundraiser performance of The Nutcracker.
Then Madge’s Piña Colada Casserole takes out the entire ballet company.
Enter the Velvet Kittens, a stranded burlesque troupe with a broken-down van and a willingness to help.
Madge has never heard of burlesque. She calls it “bur-less-q.”
What could possibly go wrong?
A HOLIDAY CLASSIC LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!
Celebrating its 18th season, this holiday comedy brings small-town shenanigans, outrageous characters, cheeky dancing, and a familiar Christmas classic that takes a very unexpected turn.
Expect a scripted theatrical comedy filled with adult humor, suggestive fun, and playful dancing.
There is no nudity or stripping.
Come early to browse the Holidays After Dark Market and make a night, or afternoon, of it!
Presented as part of Mooreland’s Holidays After Dark at Sons of Hermann Hall.
