THE VAN ELLA BORDELLA:
The Van Ella Bordella, an infamous house of ill repute. Join Madam Lola van Ella, her intoxicating and charming courtesans Bibi Dazzle, Willy LaQueue and Sailem, and “Professor” Mimi Le Uke, for an evening of debauchery, scandal, decadent delights and scintillating Victorian era brothel history. Bring your open mind, a daring sense of adventure and leave your inhibitions at the door for an immersive, theatrical and fabulous evening of burlesque harlotry.
SAINT LOUIS LADY ARM WRESTLERS (SLLAW):
A conglomerate of awesome, where sport meets theatre in a throw-down against the patriarchy. It’s philanthropy with a twist of the wrist. Each bout draws bets and dollars from the crowd to benefit the Missouri Trans Umbrella Group (MTUG).
