We're back to prove it was never "just a phase". On Saturday, April 25th, Firehouse Theatre hosts the return of Baddies With Saddies: An Emo Burlesque Experience. Let's get moody, cathartic, and unapologetically loud with high-energy rebellion, heartfelt stripping, and a room full of people who get it. With moshpit worthy bangers, ballads that defined your MySpace profile, and the modern tunes that carry on the genre today, our performers are bringing the feels back to the stage in the most provocative way possible.

Don’t bottle it up. Let it out. Put on your favorite band tee, overdo the eyeliner, and bring your best friends. It’s time to scream until we feel something.

CHURCH is our reclamation of the term to mean a safe space to gather and we're back for our annual Spring tradition. It’s an opportunity to worship the grace that is q***r and trans people; in femmes and weirdos; in fat bodies and all the in betweens. It’s a reminder of the holiness of marginalized resistance, joy, and divinity. It's a space to find light in the face of it all. In a season where religion and morality are being used to further push us into the margins, it's more important to reclaim our space in this way than ever.

Featuring performances by:
Casey Camp
Gordita Maricona
Jo'Rie Tigerlily
D3ADP4NN
Nostra DadAss
Poppy la Fae
Pretty Rik E
Qing Blaze
Saffron Soleil
Venessa Chevelle
Kitten: Elza Facon
