Featuring

Viola Heart
Viola Heart is a New York City–based Canadian burlesque artist, producer, choreographer, and professional dancer whose work is deeply theatrical and artistically driven. Crowned the winner of the Montreal Burlesque Festival 2024, she creates emotionally rich performances that blend virtuosic dance technique with bold storytelling. Known for her acts to be “works of art”, Viola builds immersive visual worlds where movement, design, and drama intertwine, bringing cinematic presence and elegance to every stage she graces.

Jenna Emerson
Jenna Emerson (she/her) is your favorite singing sex educator! She has over 10 years of experience as a sex educator and nearly 20 years of experience as a comedian. She lives in Burlington, VT where you can find her singing parody songs about sex, lube, STIs, or edging around town. She also produces and hosts a popular Dating Show where she does live matchmaking on stage with contestants playing games to win dates. It’s the hottest dating event in the state and continues to sell out because we could all use a little extra love nowadays!

The Rising Stars of Rail City
Founded in 2025, the Rising Stars of Rail City are a Franklin County based burlesque troupe featuring a rotating cast of local performers. Blending classic tease with bold self-expression, the group presents empowering numbers that celebrate the artistry and individuality of each performer. Performances are sometimes self-choreographed and sometimes feature choreography by fellow Vermont creators. Proudly local. Unapologetically bold.
