The 2023 1st Annual International Booklover's Burlesque Festival was a weekend event full of the sexiest literary burlesque.  Each day showcased "Guests of Honor" and"Featured" authors and, as well as curated performing artists chosen from applications from around the world.  The weekend began with a celebration of Gothic Literature with an intimate show at Swan Dive in Portland. Our Friday night Grand Showcase #1 at The Alberta Rose Theatre featured over a dozen readings and performers from a mix of genres (hence an "open" theme).  We'll continue the "open theme" on Saturday with Grand Showcase #2 (a completely different group of readings and performances) also at The Alberta Rose Theatre.  Our Sunday brunch, Cozy Classics Cabaret Brunch, at The Victorian Belle Mansion focused on classic literature.  

Each show featured entirely different casts and acts.  Guests should purchase tickets for each day separately below.
