Come go "bump" in the night with us!

We're halfway to every burlesquers favorite holiday, so we thought we'd bring a little autumn magic to spring in Salem! Halfway To Halloween celebrates the elements that make classic and contemporary Halloween – spooks, movie monsters, Trick or Treating, slutty pumpkins, and more!

We may not scare your pants off, but we guarantee someone is going to lose their clothes!

April 25, 2024, 10 p.m. - midnight - Downstairs Hall

Our traditional opening night party is sponsored by Deaon Giles' Speakeasy Lab. This speakeasy-style show is an opportunity to connect with other performers from all around the world in a relaxed, social setting.  Deaon Giles Distillery serves the finest craft cocktails in Salem, and has been a lomng-time supporter of The Great Burlesque Exposition.
