Doors open at 8pm enjoy wine, beer and live music. Show starts at 9pm. Tickets are $15 at door or pre-order at www.art-sanctuary.org or contact Lisa at 502-386-7114 for more information. The fall chill may be creeping into the Louisville Metro area, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spice up your night with the Art Sanctuary & Alley Theatre’s night of fun with “VaVaVoyeur” on Friday, November 13th. Fire performers will heat up the audience in the parking lot, while live music from “The Jimmy Honeyman Quartet” rocks out inside. The highlight is a evening of voyeuristic pleasure with an authentic burlesque show with over 30 lovely ladies performing in true burlesque style, which is guaranteed to raise your temperature. The premise of the burlesque show will satisfy your peeping tom desires, as you discover a lonely voyeur as he watches girls from his high rise apartment. He spies with his yearning longing eyes a duct tape dominatrix, a zombie prostitute, and a sexy roller derby girl. Of course, alone in his high-rise apartment he witnesses much more, but all of that spice should be left for viewers of this special event. Music will be provided by “The Jimmy Honeyman Quartet,” who’s sound is described as a bluesy, rockabilly “bump and grind” music to open the show, and they will also entertain during intermission.
