Books and Burlesque

Sure, you've heard of wine pairings. But what about books and burlesque pairings? For this balmy spring show at Caveat on Saturday, March 14 at 9pm, award-winning authors will read excerpts from their new books. Then, a burlesque or drag performer will present a spectacular new act they created that was inspired by the book pairing. 

This literary evening of "lore and allure" boasts an excellent lineup featuring: Elizabeth Gurly Flynn: The Rebel Girl, Democracy and Revolution by Mary Anne Trasciatti paired with a performance by Rosie Tulips; The Remarkable Life of Reed Peggram by Dr. Ethelene Whitmire interpreted by performer Chestnut Belafonte; a performance by Fortune Cookie (who also produces and hosts the event) coupled with Kevin Nguyen's novel My Documents; a reading of the Cleyvis Natera novel The Grand Paloma Resort paired with Saida Exit; and Mizzaddy's take on Don't Step Into My Office, the debut novel by David Fishkind.

Local bookstore Book Club Bar (197 East 3rd Street) will sell signed copies of all the books featured at the show.
