In the olden days of lamp lit alleyways, dirt dusty streets and speakeasy's in the gritty city of Richmond, Virginia, existed the "Butchertown Cats." A gang that ruled the "Butchertown" district, an area that stretched from Shockoe Bottom to Church Hill, oft avoided unless one was brave enough to visit the back alley brothels, or pay a visit to one of the many butchers with swinging meat, lining the streets...
It was rough and tumble, the earnings were humble, but the jazz music rumbled, and the gin flowed like the James after a rain. "Butchertown Burlesque" brings a new nightlife experience to RVA, harkening back to yesteryear when flappers and bootleggers reigned. A new classic burlesque series performed to all live music spanning the 1920s - 1940s from jazz quintet, the "Butchertown Cats Orchestra." Appearing at TheatreLAB's "The Basement" theatre.
