Know Theatre of Cincinnati Sets Annual Burlesque for 10/11

Know Theatre of Cincinnati has announced the return of St. Louis based Van Ella Productions, the burlesque troupe that brought the sell-out Show-Me Burlesque (2010) and The Beggar's Carnivale (2011) to Know Theatre. This year will feature "two entirely different and unforgettable nights of sexy entertainment! On October 11th, enjoy anintimate evening of burlesque with The Hoochie Coo Revue! Return on October 12th or 13th to witness The Beggar’s Carnivale, a huge spectacular with tons of antics and this time with live music!"

“We’re thrilled to present this show for the third year in a row. It is pure unbridled (adult) fun. Everyone leaves with a smile on their face. To add to the excitement, the Thursday night show will feature a local performer from the Cin City Burlesque, Ginger Snapps.”

The Beggar’s Carnivale, described as “Cirque du Soleil on a whiskey bender”, is a variety show combining elements of traditional circus arts, gypsy folk, and rock n’ roll. This fast paced, non-stop spectacle includes several acts linked together by a series of silent film-esque interludes and this year will feature live music from their house band The Royal We as well as music mixed on the spot by the show’s personal DJ. show
