Have you ever wondered what goes on between the showgirls backstage at a burlesque show? Is it really like they show in the movies? What are those glamorous burlesque cuties thinking when they go on stage, and how do you as the audience fit into their thoughts? Come see for yourself at the debut performance of "Scenes from a Dressing Room: A Brief Tale of Burlesque." Combining burlesque dance and skits, this short play gives the audience a peek-a-boo look into the minds and lives of the girls as they get dolled up before the show, candidly exposing a previously unseen side of life on the stage.
 
The show is written and performed by San Francisco’s own Living Legend of Burlesque, Isis Starr, "The Goddess of Vintage Burlesque," and Bombshell Betty, inventor of the wildly popular “Burlesquercise!” dance classes. With cameo performances by San Francisco’s leading variety and burlesque performers!
