Pandoras Trunk december 4th



Pandora's Trunk presents
Visual Vaudeville & Built Burlesque
6-11pm, Runway show at 8 & 10pm
Thursday, Dec 4th

Pandora is taking over this enormously gorgeous vaudeville theater and filling it with built burlesque - the freshest indie craft and design will be presented by its makers in the historic lobby. The beautifully restored theater itself will be a house of performance delights, with live music acts opening for an innovative narrative fashion presentation: a storytime runway show. It's a fashion show turned on its head, a costumed storytime in cabaret style. Drag performers and captured princesses mix with bad banker men and jeweled birds, set to live viola and saw music. Check out a fully produced stage show, performed to live music, and meet and greet with the clothing and costume geniuses behind it all. Buy the fashions that you see onstage off the rack, fresh from each designer's hot little hands.
