Step Into Your Power ~ Burlesque Showcase

The Castle Theatre
Queen City Burlesque Expo and Castle Theatre is proud to present its Friday Night Showcase at the Castle Theatre on Friday, April 10th, featuring Canadian Icons Bettina May and Jezebel Express, and starring the reigning Queen of The Burlesque Hall of Fame (New Orleans) herself, Jessabelle Thunder.
This award-winning production welcomes performers from across North America and the UK, all travelling to Castlegar to be part of an unforgettable night of live entertainment. Step into a world where glamour meets grit and old-world vaudeville collides with contemporary edge.
From big-top magic and variety tease to breathtaking burlesque, you’ll experience a body-positive, self-expressive art form that celebrates all shapes, sizes, and identities. Expect sparkling costumes, bold characters, and heart-thumping music as each act invites you to laugh, gasp, and cheer.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or brand-new to burlesque, this show is designed to delight, inspire, and remind you just how powerful it can be when we take up space, tell our own stories, and let ourselves be seen. The art form that has captured our hearts is guaranteed to capture yours.
Join us on Friday Night at Castle Theatre for our Community Fun & Friendly event with audience participation, group acts, solos, and duets.
Step Into Your Power. Own your age, rage, and joy. Celebrate an assortment of expressive arts, dance, and live singing with Local Feature Bella Cat, Guest Performer Lily Lustre from the UK, Canadian Icons Bettina May and Jezebel Thunder, and a sparkling variety of entertainment from around the globe.
Presented by Trail Arts Council and Deja Louve. Sponsored by Columbia Basin Trust, Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, Trail Arts Council, and ReDirected Grants.
