varscona theatre (10329 83 Ave NW, Edmonton AB)

Aug 13-23: “Between the Covers” at Edmonton Fringe Festival

We are BACK at the iconic Varscona Theatre with our steamiest, sassiest spectacle yet! Join us as we slip between the pages and into a world of passion, parody, and page-turning seduction in this romance-novel-inspired burlesque extravaganza. From windswept bodice rippers and dangerous fantasy lovers to forbidden desire, scandalous heroines, and happily-ever-afters with a wicked twist, this dazzling production brings your favourite romance tropes to life with glittering tease, laugh-out-loud comedy, and irresistible heat.

This brand-new edition features a fresh original script performed by acclaimed playwright and actor Belinda Cornish, whose razor-sharp wit and magnetic stage presence tie the evening together in deliciously dramatic fashion. Featuring an all-star cast of burlesque royalty, including Canadian fan favourites Audra Dacity, Jezebel Sinclair, and Sharpay Diem, and award-winning international showgirls Violette Coquette and LeTabby Lexington. Directed by the brilliant Molly MacKinnon, with lush and tantalizing group choreography by Audra Dacity.

Between the Covers is a sumptuous celebration of romance, camp, glamour, and unapologetic desire. Whether you crave smouldering heroes, feisty heroines, or a little literary mischief, this is one story you’ll want to stay up all night reading.
