Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

Noveltease Theatre pays homage to literary burlesque of the late 19th century by combining theatrical adaptations of classic texts with contemporary striptease. Our intention is not to mock, but to productively muddle the "highbrow" art of literature with the "lowbrow" art of burlesque through embodied storytelling. Noveltease Theatre's mission is to create community through storytelling by reviving the historical artform of literary burlesque. We stage unique adaptations of classic works of theatre and literature in order to reclaim and rework the canon that enlivens and transforms classic works for contemporary audiences. We envision a world that celebrates the beauty of the written word and the grace of bodies in motion. Through fanciful adaptations of classic literature that infuse text with dance, we hope to create a space in which everyone can see themselves represented in classic literature

  • Noveltease Theatre's mission is to create community through storytelling by reviving the historical artform of literary burlesque. We stage unique adaptations of classic works of theatre and literature in order to reclaim and rework the canon in a manner that enlivens and transforms classic works for contemporary audiences. We produce 2 mainstage productions annually. In 2024 we produced two new original adaptations of literary theatre: Sleeping Beauty and the Bear Prince, adapted from a collection of European and American fairy tales, and an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet that utilized dance as a key element of storytelling.

    Expenses $44,747 · Grants $61,473
