The Burl-X-Files Returns: The Truth Is Down There

January 14, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - January 16, 2016 @ 10:00 pm

ON SALE NOW: TICKET LINK

Take a trip down memory lane and into the basement with Spooky Mulder and Dana Scully as they investigate unexplained phenomenon in a boisterous burlesque theater. In anticipation of the new television series, this remount of the popular 2013 production of the Burl-X-Files: The Truth is Down There returns for a limited engagement on Jan 14, 15 and 16, 2016. Nearly the entire original cast returns along with a few extra surprises. Come help us celebrate the resurrection of ’90s-style government conspiracies, implausible myth arcs and sexy virus-carrying bees with the art of burlesque.

What chilling monster-of-the-week will they encounter? Will the Lone Gunmen lend a helpful hand? What forces (or cigarette-smoking fiend) will conspire to keep our leads apart?  The Burl-X-Files will be one part nostalgia, one part celebration of fandom, and one part indulgence of not-so-secret fan fantasies. DO YOU WANT TO BELIEVE?

“I wish every fan could have experienced this with me.” Pepper Ashley, Week in Weird

“We cannot emphasize this enough- go see this show.” Jessica Price, Seattle Burlesque Press

“As perverse, delightful, and subversive as its source material, The Burl-X-Files combined performative fan fiction, homage, and imagination in a scintillating showcase that made the audience want to believe.” Jennifer K Stuller, author of Ink-Stained Amazons and Cinematic Warriors: Superwomen in Modern Mythology

The Shanghai Pearl returning as Agent Dana Scully
Bazuka Joe of Chicago’s Stage Door Johnnies joining as Agent Fox Mulder
