Showgirl Sunday: Cocktails at Church: An Exclusive Debut of Les Belles de Paris

Sunday, June 7, 4pm - 6:30pm

​Step into a chic Parisian afternoon of glamour, champagne, and feathers, an elegant cabaret experience celebrating the debut of Les Belles de Paris. Produced by The Cabaret Burlesque in collaboration with Culture Lab LIC, this special event invites guests to indulge in a stylish soirée inspired by the romance and flair of a Sunday brunch in Paris.

Les Belles de Paris is a New York City–based performative showgirl company under the direction of Nathalie Marrable. Blending classic Parisian showgirl technique with modern theatrical elegance, this dazzling ensemble will transport audiences to the grand cabarets of Europe. Influenced by Marrable’s experience performing and choreographing in France and Germany, the evening promises a playful, immersive celebration of fashion, flair, and feather fans, as well as some cheeky guests!

​Guests are invited to dress to impress in the theme “Sunday Brunch in Paris” and enjoy cocktails before the show begins.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of glamour, laughter, and Parisian charm.
