Sure, you've heard of wine pairings. But what about books and burlesque pairings?
During this show at Caveat on Saturday, March 9, award-winning authors will read excerpts from their new books. Then, each author has been paired with a spectacular burlesque or drag performer who will create new acts inspired by the books they read.
The show features the following books: Shashtri Akella's The Sea Elephants, Jeanne Mackin's Picasso's Lovers, Katie Gee Salisbury's Not Your China Doll: The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong, Hilary Leichter's Terrace Story: A Novel, and Richard Mirabella's Brother & Sister Enter the Forest: A Novel.
Featured burlesque and drag performers include: Minnie Tonka, Mizzaddy, RuAfza, Dominant Jeane, and Fortune Cookie, with stage kittens Scarlet Song, Sideshow Scandal, and Racy DeClare. The show's co-produced with Rosie Tulips and hosted by Fortune Cookie.
Local bookstore Book Club Bar (197 East 3rd Street) will sell signed copies of all the books featured at the show.
