Canadian Burlesque Star, Rosie Bitts, Makes New York City Debut In
Stories of Love and Passion
At the United Solo Theatre Festival
Tuesday, October 21st @ 7:30 pm – Theatre Row Studio Theatre
“Her performance is very open, and honest…Stories of Love and Passion is Rosie’s gift of herself to the world around her.” – the Marble
The Fabulous Miss Rosie Bitts mixes jazz and burlesque with raw seduction in these heart-breaking, hilarious and taboo tales of sex work, unplanned pregnancy, loss of virginity and more. With live accompaniment by Jeff Poynter, Rosie creates a night of entertainment that is a luscious pleasure to the senses while also being subtly subversive, perfectly frank and completely titillating.
Stories of Love and Passion had its first view as a workshop in Best Bitts’ Sexy Factory Fest, then its official World Premiere in the UNO Festival in Victoria, BC which is run by Intrepid Theatre (which also runs the Victoria Fringe). Stories of Love and Passion just finished a successful run at the Come Inside, the first Sex-Positive Theatre Festival in the US in Portland, Oregon.
The creative team includes lighting design by Theodore R. Sherman, costume design by Kerri Derksen and technical direction by Chasmin Hallyburton.
