We are proud to announce our 2026 Season which will be more balanced for us to assure we are all having enough time, energy and focus to manage our signature group choreography numbers and to do a little more solo development with the addition of burlesque striptease to the table for our intimate shows.
Here are the SAVE THE DATES for the BIG Shows to be held at our home venue The Bird and The Book in Maryville, TN. These feature a boatload of what you love the Follies Girls for - group numbers galore, vaudeville fun and a little something special always.
New this year for us is the addition of small, intimate KNOXVILLE-based shows featuring some burlesque striptease. Here are the SAVE THE DATES for these as they will be held at The Birdhouse in Knoxville, TN. We will also be hoping to invite burlesque artists from other areas to participate in these so be on the look out for a few special guest spots here and there. These are SOLOS only shows (or at most a duet or trio), and will continue our committment to strengthening performers in setting their own imagination on fire and putting their dreams on the stage in 2026.
In addition we offer now some great membership/donor opportunities to get season tickets at a reduced rate. Please see https://www.thefolliesgirls.org/support for all the options (memberships are limited).
We plan to do more out in the community as well so be on the lookout for our outreach programming and more opportunities to have a little art from the heart in your yearly entertainment diet. We hope you spread the word and continue to be a FOLLIES fan and invite some people who are looking for the brand of hooplah we bring to the table. Your word of mouth is worth everything to us.
In peace, love, hope and dance -
Nipsy Tussle
