The inaugural Keystone Burlesque and Variety Festival launches with a Teaser Weekend event in Pittsburgh May 24-25, 2024. The showcases will take place in the city’s Allentown neighborhood, at the Storyville Lounge (a speakeasy behind Dr. Tumblety’s Time-Inspired Specialty Shop) and new Spirits Distillery next door.

The Keystone Festival will feature two showcases on the Spirits Distillery stage – each show will feature different casts of Pennsylvania performers, as well as acts from across North America. After each show, there will be a private party in the Storyville Lounge with intimate performances and hand-crafted, Prohibition-style cocktails. Audience members will be encouraged to come dressed for a Prohibition party on Friday and for a Vegas-style Rat Pack bash on Saturday. Audiences will not want to miss a single show or party!
