Purrrlesque! is a vaudevillian burlesque performance troupe that has been around the Carolina's for about 4 year's now. We travel, perform, and tantalize as one loving performance family. We have been as large as 11 and as small as 3, but always felt we bring the shibang of a group who loves what we do. One thing we feel strongly about as a whole is giving back to the community, because we each have a story of survival. Which bring us to our Follies. Each year in the winter we did a very large benefit event, bringing together a large group of performers and opening the stage for a grand old time. Last year we decided to make it official and turn it into a festival. There were challenges, of course, but we raised $4,685 for a local domestic violence prevention foundation. This year our charity is Girls Rock NC. An organization that works with the empowerment of young women using rock camps and social skills as the medium to help them learn life tools to move forward in a healthy forward focused way. Our event planning has us on target to bring in twice as much as last year and we are very excited! The theme of this year’s Follies will be “Beautifully Empowered” … each person see’s beauty in their own way, and each’s person’s definition of empowerment come’s from a different place… but each person is beautiful, and we strive to inspire each person to seek that empowerment. Burlesque is a medium for many to find both of those things with in themselves. It is also a place where the audience can relish in those gifts in others.
