BOOKLOVER’S BURLESQUE — the world’s sexiest literary salon– matches titillating, inspiring, and/or empowering book readings with burlesque performances all in one show. Professional readers, actors, and/or authors & writers read aloud a short literary excerpt, which is then followed by a burlesque performance inspired by the piece.

BOOKLOVER’S BURLESQUE debuted in April 2016, produced 4-5 times a year in Portland, Oregon, and visited Seattle, Washington twice in 2019. Our productions includes open-theme genre shows as well as themed ones, including an annual Shakespeare edition, mystery/noir, erotica, “vile villains,” historical love letters/journals/diaries, poetry, etc. BOOKLOVER’S BURLESQUE strives to be sexy, body, & queer positive, feminist, and inclusive to ALL.
