Call for Performers!

Calling all vaudeville vixens, burlesque beauties, rebel musicians, anarcho-clowns, and pin-up queens! On Saturday, July 26th, Unconventional Action Rochester will be hosting Burlesque for Bail, a fundraiser for individuals partaking in civil disobedience during the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. We are looking for individuals and troupes to shimmy, shake, captivate and above all, raise some change for change!
