     The inaugural RVA Burlesque Festival is dedicated to celebrating the art of burlesque. We strive to cultivate awareness while continuing the support of our thriving burlesque and performing arts community in Richmond, VA. Our weekend of entertainment will promote our values of artistic expression, inclusivity, diversity, and empowerment. We anticipate that up to 500 people will be in attendance over the course of our three day event. 

    Our festival will be taking place March 25th & 26th at Dogtown Dance Theatre in the Manchester neighborhood of Richmond, VA. We will be featuring national and international burlesque performers, as well as local favorites.

    In exchange for sponsorship we are able to offer several avenues of advertising, including your logo on all of our marketing materials as well as our website and ticketing page. We can also offer custom social media posts and onstage shoutouts. With access to coupons and discounts, attendees will be drawn to your business throughout the event. There are also vending opportunities available during certain nights of the festival.


    Ellie Quinn

    From Richmond, Virginia, Ellie Quinn uses her inner most fangirl to tease and tickle your funny bone. The Duchess of Dork has performed all across the US and internationally, including: headlining the NOLA Nerdlesque Festival in 2015, hopping the pond to perform two avenging acts in the 2016 London Burlesque Festival, chasing burgers all the way to compete in the 2017 Geneva Burlesque Festival, and following her arc reactor to the 2017 Como Lake Burlesque Festival.  She was a feature performer at 2018 Discordia Days Burlesque Festival, where she was awarded a producer’s choice award for her nerdlesque fan dance. Full of saccharine and silliness, you’ll want to catch a peek at this geek!

    Ellie can be found as a soloist on stages all over the East Coast, making regular trips to Burlington, Vermont to appear with the Green Mountain Cabaret and New York City to appear with D20 Burlesque. She regularly produces themed shows in her hometown Richmond. She is the resident performer and curator for monthly burlesque brunch at Grandstaff and Stein RVA.

    The burlesque bug bit Ellie in fall of 2010, and she threw herself into learning everything she could. She made her burlesque debut in April 2011. In October 2013, she facilitated the first burlesque show at the historic Naro Cinema in Norfolk. She began producing shows January 2014, such as Friday the 13th Burlesque, Jurassic Pasties, Bubble Gum Battle Royale, Boob's Burgers, Justease League, Some Enchanted G-String, Earth's Mightiest Burlesque Show, The Tease is Out There, Hanna Bar-bare-all, and Lip Sync Battle Burlesque (2015). She has co-produced Carry On My Wayward Bra and Stripelodeon. She produced a nerdlesque revue in 2015 for MarsCon in Williamsburg, a first for the convention and the city. She produced a nerdlesque revue in 2020 for GalaxyCon in Richmond.
