FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE:
Cambridge, MA (June 15,
2015) - Did you learn anything in health class besides fear, abstinence, and
maybe how to roll a condom onto a banana? Well, attendance is mandatory at
Rogue Burlesque’s Your Body And You, a summer health assembly
full of cautionary tales, celebratory moments and your daily recommended dosage
of striptease! Health teacher Joan (comic Jessie Baade), and the gifted gals of
Rogue will guide you through the horrors of drug abuse, the dangers and
pleasures of promiscuity, the basics of hygiene and the wonders of the large
intestine – all with pasties!
With an assist from gym
teacher Jim (Dale Stones of Sirlesque), dancing STDs, and an epic, live-action
contraception battle, you’ll leave loving everybody!
"I'm choreographing
our big finale number - a battle of STIs and sperm up against various
prevention methods and birth control,” says Rogue Burlesque director Dixie
Douya. “We are aiming for ridiculous meets sexy. But most of all, it must be
scientifically accurate. I'm a public health nerd!”
The full-scale burlesque
production features the wayward staff and faculty of a fictional, dysfunctional
high school. "Rogue Burlesque is known for character and story-driven
acts," says producer Brandy Wine. "We want to spread important
messages of self-love, body positivity, and healthy sexuality -- through comedy
and striptease."
Despite the absurdity,
there will be genuine health experts on hand. “We’re delighted to welcome
the Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health to the show as our
educational partner,” says Ms. Wine. “They’ll be on hand to answer questions
and reassure you that the HPV virus is NOT actually five feet tall and covered
in glitter.” The CSPH will provide free condoms and practical resources for
audience members to continue their sexual health education after the show.
