Byrlesque At The Byrd / 7PM / $15

I am excited to announce “*Byrlesque At The Byrd*” is back for a second production at Richmond’s beloved, Byrd Theatre, Sunday evening, December 2nd!

Like my first production there this past May (which pulled in over 500 people on a Sunday night), this classic burlesque and vaudeville gala will again pay tribute to many of the classic films to grace the Byrd’s enormous screen…but this time, with a holiday twist!!! “*Holidays at the Movies*” is poised to be Richmond’s largest and most epic burlesque showcase to date, with top performers from RVA and around the region including Raleigh, DC and Baltimore, plus all of the audiences favorite features of our first installment- two holiday movie montages, witty banter from the FilmRoasters in the balcony with the show’s host Mark Slomski, and we’ve got several new surprises including *Bob Gulledge* playing pre-show tunes on his Mighty Wurlitzer!

In keeping with the holiday spirit of giving, we are also hosting a canned food drive for the *Central Virginia Food Bank*! Each patron bringing a donation will receive one raffle ticket and be entered for a chance to win a raffle prize worth well over $200! We all would greatly appreciate any attention you can give to this event, and this drive, as it is a chance to do some real help to our local community (and have a salaciously good time doing it)!
