NEW MILLENNIUM THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS:

The Flaming Dames!The Flaming Dames VamP!

Written, directed, and choreographed by New Millennium company member Leslie Kerrigan.

Staying true to their sensual, goofy, and fun-loving way, The beautiful girls of the Flaming Dames take on the legions of the night with their new installment.  Focusing on a sexually macabre theme, the Dames in Vamp bare a lot more than just their teeth to keep you captivated. Song, dance, comedy, and everyone’s favorite, the art of the burlesque strip-tease will leave audiences begging for more. Not for the faint of heart or those with weak stomachs, the girls work side by side with the horrific, gross but comedic stylings of a Vampire & Zombie duo of MC’s.

All at once, the girls will tantalize and tease and quite possibly taste their way into your hearts. They’ll twist the silly with the macabre and the wicked with the sexual and give you a show that you’ll never forget. A perfect addition to your Flashback experience; especially if you’re search of something a little different, a little twisted, and a lot sexy.

The Dames will treat you to a host of new and different burlesque acts, one that involves skin in ways you’ve never dreamed of; let our Master Vampire treat you to some of his vocal delights, or cow tow to Miss Sista Sultry as she weaves her web around you before you can blink a sexy eye. Don’t be afraid of audience interaction either, as The Wheel of Misfortune may prove to be quite fortunate for you or some lucky person in your group.

Only scary for the timid; come on out and spend an hour or so in July at Flashback Weekend 2006 with these sexy Vamps, be prepared to have more than just your sides split at the comedic rantings of our Zombie & Vampire MC’s; but most importantly…be prepared to have some wicked, twisted, SEXY fun!
