Early 2013, the first seeds of Inheritance: Maiden, Mother, Crone were planted. Four women sat on the lawn of Seattle Center wondering how they could inspire and educate women to seek the truths within them, challenge the norms of society, and learn to love the entirety of what it means to be a woman. They asked themselves, “what is our legacy?”

Fall 2014, Sinner Saint partnered with Theatre Off Jackson to produce its first full-length theatrical work – Inheritance: Maiden, Mother, Crone. The show blends Sinner Saint’s internationally acclaimed and show-stopping performance art with a social justice platform that pushes the burlesque envelope. Get ready for what you already know and love about Sinner Saint, plus the new ways we are weaving in feminist activism, intergenerational dialogue, and sensory spectacle in our exploration of the contemporary mythology of the feminine.

Through modern dance, singing, visual arts, poetry and neo-burlesque, Inheritance challenges the most basic and pervasive assumptions about womanhood, power and the structure of humanity. It presents a world that embraces, understands and celebrates the experiences of women.

Sinner Saint Burlesque is ready to start a revolution. These stripteasing sirens are also formidible freedom fighting feminists, ready to put their politics on the stage and participate public demonstrations of near-nudity. Our sisters in struggle will teach you the art of erotic resistance. Join us and establish your own liberated libidinal governance. Viva la Vulva! Libertease and justice for all!

Sinner Saint Burlesque invites you on a journey to unleash primal selves in this opulent strip tease tribute to the natural world. Lightning will strike, the earth will shake and all the land will ignite with passion. Explore the seductive, unrelenting power of the natural world through dance and strip tease theater. Descend into the decadence of elemental eroticism and experience the wonders this planet has to offer through the hearts, minds and loins of Sinner Saint Burlesque. To be remounted at Theatre Off Jackson in February 2016!

What would happen if a group of stripteasers all had to share one prop? From the song “If I Can’t Sell It, I’ll Keep Sittin’ On It” to the myriad stocking removal acts performed by amateurs and legends alike, chairs have had a prominent role in burlesque. But…what happens when one chair goes from function to fashion? From prop to prized possession? Find out as the stars of Sinner Saint Burlesque keep you on the edge of your seat in a show dedicated entirely to chair acts: The Hot Seat!

This burlesque mockumentary was Sinner Saint’s first narrative cabaret experience! We invite you to take a peek at “Behind the Pasties”, a burlesque mockumentary exploring the origins of your favorite burlesque stars, the trials and tribulations of troupe dynamics, and the ultimately fabulous payoff of time spent gluing rhinestones to…well…everything. A funny, sexy look at the “glamorous” world of burlesque that will let you in on all of our showgirl secrets!

The Scarlet Curtain raves: Sinner Saint Burlesque casts “one helluva spell” with Blood Sugar Sex Magic. This narrative cabaret experience takes you along the path of six mortal maidens in pursuit of sexual enlightenment, and allows you to behold as they transform into supernatural sex goddesses before your very eyes.

Once, in February 2011, Sinner Saint Burlesque threw a neo burlesque show with what was probably the oddest premise you’d ever seen. Combining journal readings, stories and other cries from our naive and impressionable youths with interpretive, improvised burlesque performances, The Very Super Special Feelings Show has turned into one of Sinner Saint’s most popular
events. That’s right; a mash up of Salon of Shame style readings, improvised interpretive dance, and…stripping!

Darling, Please keep this on the hush hush. This is YOUR exclusive invitation to the dinner party of the year! Everyone on Seattle’s A List is confirmed and B-Listers are simply clamoring for an invite. Don your finest attire, this is going to be an affair to remember. Prepare to be lavished with top shelf liquors, rich foods, decadent decorations and sensual music. In the golden age of classic bump-n-grind burlesque, performers typically performed acts that were 20 minutes in length. Today however, the standard is three to six minutes long. Join Sinner Saint Burlesque as we give you our take on the long form art form in LONG Kiss Goodnight.

On Kamikaze Nights, anything can happen! Sinner Saint Burlesque likes to break away from the narrative cabaret format every now and again and leave things entirely up to chance . . . and up to Songs About Your Mom our audiences. On Kamikaze Nights, the audience brings the music and we strip to whatever you want us to! Sometimes loosely themed (“Songs About Your Mom,” “Love Is A Battlefield,” “Marriage Equality,” and more), and always full of hilarious, on the spot creations, Kamikaze Nights are a Sinner Saint Signature show you don’t want to miss!
