Shades of Burlesque (New York, NY)
Burlesque has always had a theme of inclusion running through it, and you won’t see that anywhere more than in Shades of Burlesque. The show is New York City’s only all black burlesque revue. It was founded by Sweet Lorraine, a queer WOC and seasoned burlesque performer, whose aim is to foster nurturing, sexually expressive spaces for others in the LGBTQ community.
