(LACONIA) Pitman’s Freight Room, home of the popular NH Jazz Center series on Monday and Thursday evenings, is expanding its entertainment repertoire into another roots art form: Burlesque. On Wednesday evenings starting April 25, Pitman’s will host Burlesque Night Live, a variety show featuring dancing girls, comedy sketches and musical theatre numbers.
A collaborative effort by two Laconia performing arts troupes, Tabula Rasa Theatre Company and Artsfest Company, BNL showcases the talents of local dancers and actors in a bawdy genre familiar to dance hall era, with a taste of the classic TV musical variety shows of the 1960s and -70’s, like the Dean Martin and Carol Burnette Shows and Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In.
Burlesque Night Live opens April 25 at 7:30 and will continue, with a different show every week, until June 13 (with the exception of May 16). Admission is $12 (BYOB), and light refreshments will be available. Pitman’s Freight Room, a former warehouse lovingly refurbished at a function room and performance space, is located at 94 New Salem Street in Downtown Laconia. To make reservations or for further information call Pointless Forest Productions at 603-556-9695.
