BURLESQUE: The Thighlight Zone @ Walking Fish Theatre

POSTED: Wednesday, July 6, 2011, 10:00 AM

“You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land of whose boundaries are that of imagination.” If you didn’t pick that up, it’s the eerie relics of '50s futurism called The Twilight Zone. But this time, your strange encounters will be softened by garters and glitter. Walking Fish Theatre is presenting The Thighlight Zone, a burlesque revival of the sci-fi icon. The story takes you into a creepy town overtaken with monsters and robots and scantily-clad ladies. Unlike the original, which felt too disturbing to laugh at the ridiculous plots and poorly shaped alien heads, the burlesque stars are all about giggles and glee. Sure to be a rollercoaster of terror and tantalization, The Thighlight Zone will surely prove to be a dimension you want to stay in.

Thu.-Sat., July 7-9, 8 p.m., $10, Walking Fish Theatre, 2509 Frankford Ave., bsomeday.org.
