Description:

Valentines Day is over. What messes and mismatches did Cupid create? Presenting a series of burlesque routines with interconnected characters. Cupid's evil twin, Cupidity (he's responsible for the morning after), will inform the audience about the follies of desire; the universality of loneliness and heart-break; and how to profit from that human condition! He also has some pretty nasty things to say about his brother as he works to undo the train wrecks to be that occurred over Valentines Day.

A story told through a series of burlesque routines with Cupidity's commentary thrown in. It's more than a variety show. It's not really dramatic theater. It's kind of like a musical – without singing, Instead of songs, glamorous women and foolish men will be explaining their lives as they perform burlesque solos, duets and ensemble pieces. And it all fits together for an evening of laughs and titillation.

Featuring:

Judson Lewis as Cupidity. The founder and producer of the DC Encyclopedia Show. A brilliant character actor and sketch comedian.

'Stache, the show's producer and 4-time Prince of the Great Southern Exposure burlesque festival in Charlotte is the pathetic, broken-hearted clown,

Jennifer Ariel View, the co-founder of Richmond's Rocky Horror Picture Show cast and independent film actress returns to the DC stage from her extended stay in Florida to portray two roles, an evil gal and a gypsy.

AZYRA IZEL, the stunning and sensual belly dancer from Baltimore, will portray a lonely entrepreneur who caters to the broken-hearted.

Lottie Ellington, the Richmond-based chocolate diamond of burlesque will portray an Alpine Girl.

And the stunning and glamorous artist / dancer from Baltimore, Babs, will be the stage kitten extraordinaire.

Tickets are $20.00 at the door, $15.00 in advance at ValentinesDayAfter.BrownPaperTickets.com.
