Summer of Nerdlesque!

Be prepared for an epic Summer of Nerdlesque! Stark Naked opens a week from tomorrow followed the next week by JOYstick: A Nerdlesque Tribute to Video Games and in August, Jo Jo Stiletto has already sold out her 2012 run of Whedonesque Burlesque. Two weeks ago, Steven Stone (JOYstick, GeekGirlCon), Jo Jo, and I sat down to discuss the ways in which us nerds can help each other out! GeekGirlCon's website currently has the Summer of Nerdlesque featured on it's website and just the other day Steven Stone spoke with KISW 99.9 FM's BJ Shea (Episode 94, skip to about 22 minutes for all the nerdy burly) about the variety of shows at Theatre Off Jackson this summer and name-dropped FAUXDUST, Stark Naked, Wiggy and Madeline! Thanks so much Steve!

As fellow performers, producers, nerds and friends, FAUXDUST strongly encourages you to, in addition to picking up your Stark Naked tickets HERE, check the awesome-ness that is GeekGirlCon and JOYstick!

Seattle starlets Heidi Von Haught, La Petite Mort, Lady Drew Blood, Man Johnson, Paris Original, Trojan Original, Tim Gouran, Violet Tendencies, and Wiggy Stardust will be joined by Olympia's Kella Ray. Hosted by Portland's own The Mad Marquis as George R.R. Martin!

Cast Details Coming Soon!

We are just finalizing our cast list and will have details for you shortly! Winter is coming to TOJ July 13th and 14th and it is going to be HOT!

Submission Deadline Extended!

We will be extending the act submission deadline for Stark Naked to the end of the month!

The past few weeks have been busy for many of us, what with all the amazing burlesque productions happening in Seattle (Wiggy's been working like mad on rePRODUCTION- This Friday 5/18 at West Hall!), gearing up for BHOF, and not to mention Madeline's upcoming wedding!

Use the extra couple of weeks to get caught up on Season 2 of HBO's Game of Thrones, tear into Dance with Dragons, and then shoot us an email at fauxdust.presents@gmail.com and let us know what inspires you!

As before, while the Seattle burlesque scene is predominantly female, we are particularly interested in representing some of the male characters in Game of Thrones. Boys, boyz, bois are encouraged to apply, and all you ladies who want to talk about some of the (potentially touchy) feminist issues in the A Song of Ice & Fire series are invited to do so with a gender-bending performance! We would love a Ned number, a tribute to Tyrion, and to see Kate Bush's Hounds of Love adapted for Sandor Clegane!


The new deadline for act submissions is Friday, May 31st. 

And, if you don't want to be on stage yourself, but would like to help make the show happen, please consider donating to Fauxdust Presents! Special thanks to Jessica Price of Burlesque Seattle Press for getting the party started with her generous donation!
