Since September 2008, The Boston Babydolls have been trying to open a
rehearsal space and dance studio in North Quincy.
The ward 6 city councilor, Brian McNamee, told us "he didn't want boas and strippers and sh*t" in his neighborhood and has been doing his best to prolong the process in the hopes we'll just run out of money and go away.
We're not going away... but we are running out of money. We've paid out more than ten thousand dollars in fees to the city, legal fees, and renovations to a studio we can't use, and rental of second studio while we were waiting on the first one. We need your help to fight this good fight – and we're throwing a party to restore our war chest so we can see this thing through.
In addition to burlesque, there will be music, magic, dance, and acts of skill and daring from a wide variety of talented special guests, plus an auction with some amazing donated gifts, door prizes, and more!

PRIZES! AUCTION!
We're going to have both auction items and door prizes at the show. Currently donated items include: two nights at
The Pilgrim House in Provincetown, MA; a two-hour private lesson with Miss Mina; a portrait sitting from
Ana Reyes Photography; a copy of
Unwelcome Bodies, autographed to you by author Jennifer Pelland; a $50 gift certificate at
Church of Boston; a belly dance gift bag (including a dance lesson!) from
Zehara Nachash; a corset fitting from Beautiful Iniquity; and lots more cool stuff.
Pay What You Will
We're suggesting a ticket price of $10 at the door, but the show may sell out before then. If you want to guarantee yourself a seat, buy your tickets in advance (at a slightly higher price). If you want to set your own price, you can do that the evening of the show. Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged!
