It’s aways off but it’s never too early to plan for the deliciously spooky month of October! Seattle always has lots of fun, modestly scary entertainment options to choose from…and, frequently those options include BURLESQUE, a genre that Seattle seemingly can’t get enough of. This year, the terrific Noveltease Burlesque Theatre company is putting together an evening of works adapted from the works of the Godfather of All Things Spooky and Macabre: EDGAR ALLAN POE!!!
It’s all happening October 10th through the 18th at Theatre Off Jackson in the International District. That’s the same venue that will also host “Uncle Basement’s Attic of Horrors!” from the twisted minds of Scott Shoemaker and Freddy Molitch!

Poe Shall Remain Nevermore the Same in this Gothic Burlesque Adaptation of The Raven and Other Stories
SEATTLE, Wa. — Noveltease Theatre, Seattle’s premier literary burlesque company, invites you to an evening of tantalizing haunts and devious delights drawn from the poetry and prose of Edgar Allan Poe.
Drawing on classic Poe tales like “The Black Cat,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart,” among others, this original story chronicles our Narrator’s dark descent into depravity. After the death of her beloved Eleanora, the Narrator finds herself visited by a conspiracy of ravens who spur her to relive acts of cruelty, revenge, and of course, murder.
Driven to the edge of madness, the Narrator must confront her worst impulses to be freed from grief and guilt nevermore. Jesse Belle-Jones directs an ensemble-led adaptation of these classic tales, conceived and choreographed by Scarlett Folds with a script by Sailor St. Claire. Bringing this Gothic world alive is a design team most nightmarishly talented. Bold costumes by Lady Drew Blood (GUNKED!), haunting scenic design by Bella Rivera (ZACH, GOLD), and eerie lighting by Noveltease favorite Angelo Domitri (Hamlet, The Great Gatsby) will bring Poe’s world to life (and death).
Noveltease Company members Onyx Asili, Fosse Jack, Lulu La Lune, Ramona Rhapsody, Carson St. Clair, and Miss Elaine Yes will star alongside guest artists Keyes, Whisper de Corvo, Pinay Grigio, and Lavender Lascivious.
Noveltease Theatre creates fully-scripted literary burlesque adaptations. Infusing theatrical scripts with contemporary striptease choreography, Noveltease reworks the literary canon for contemporary audiences through feminist, queer, sex-positive, and anti-racist standpoints.
Noveltease Theatre productions are suitable for persons aged 18+.
