And put "Grindhouse" in the subject.
An Evening At the Grindhouse celebrates old and new burlesque styling.
The evening opens with a star-studded burlesque show, showcasing New York City's finest burlesque performers.
The show is promptly followed by a screening of the classic Barbara Stanwyck film, "The Lady of Burlesque"
based on the Gypsy Rose Lee novel, The G-String Murders.
Many people do not realize that Gypsy Rose Lee was not only a performer but also an acclaimed writer.
By presenting this event Lux-Killmore Entertainment will commemorate this achievement as well as honor
burlesque's 1930’s-40’s heyday and the recent revival of neo-burlesque performance art.
