“Diversity is not a dirty word in the world of burlesque,” agrees fellow producer/director Lynn Raridon. “It's a goal, we embrace it. I mean, I don't think you're going to find an art form out there that embraces this level of diversity more. It's people of every age, every ethnicity, every geo social background, every gender identification.
“We actually dropped the fest down to two nights for a while,” Raridon says, “and at the behest of Gemmi last year convinced us that we needed to bring Thursday night back.” “On Thursday, we take a few more breaks to make sure that the performers get a chance to talk to each other,” Rutledge says. “I know the production team, we usually spend a little bit of time sitting down and chatting with people, making sure they feel welcome because that's also our welcome wagon event to meet all of these people and hear about their stories.”
