Dear Constant Reader,
This was sent out to the BeauTease mailing list yesterday. I thought it was worth sharing here too.

TL/DR: Donate to support us or buy a ticket to the ScroogeCo Holiday Office Party
We are usually full of happiness and good cheer – especially at this time of year – but the truth is, the performing arts are in trouble. Sure, there a few exceptional bright spots, but if you ask any artist working in Boston, they’ll tell you that things aren’t good and haven’t been for a long time.
When ArtsBoston created the Audience Outlook Monitor (AOM), their takeaway was
The pandemic has been devastating for arts organizations hit from all sides. The survey proves what we know arts organizations and artists are already grappling with — it’s going to be a long road back and it won’t be an easy one.
Sadly, we’re not one of those exceptions. The BeauTease have been around for 17 years. We’re New England’s longest-running burlesque troupe. We have trained and inspired dozens of performers around the country and the world. We’d like to be around for another 17 years…but that’s not going to happen without your help.
We know it’s Giving Tuesday and you’re being bombarded from all sides with requests for donations. Thanks to our partnership with The Professional Burlesque Society, we are able to take donations and truly appreciate anyone who chooses to make one, but we’d much rather see you at a show.
The ScroogeCo Holiday Office Party opens on this Friday, December 2, and has performances on December 2-4 and 8-10 at The Chelsea Theatre Works. Tickets make great gifts and this show in particular is perfect for big groups. It’s equal parts party and performance, so come on out and dance the night away with us!
xoxo,
BeauTease Burlesque
