BURLESQUE AT THE BEACH!
THURSDAY MAY 6, 9PM, $10
RITA MENWEEP'S AND JOE THE SHARK'S "GET A CLUE" A BURLESQUE MURDER MYSTERY!

The Peach Tarte’s Rita MenWeep and Joe the Shark bring the classic detective board game to life burlesque style, as only they know how!

Was Mr. Body done in by Professor Plum with the glove in the water closet, or choked by glitter in the ballroom by Miss Scarlett? Follow along as our story unfolds and the clothes come off, revealing not only luscious lovelies, but the what/where/why of Mr. Body’s murder.

The only burlesque show where the audience decides the outcome as they solve the crime. It's a night with a rotating cast of suspects, burlesque weapons, and a ton of Who-Done-It fun!
