DATELINE: THE OVAL OFFICE - When beleaguered President JONNY PORKPIE learns that NASTY CANASTA and the Pinchbottom Burlesque Organization are stockpiling "Weapons of Ass Destruction", he attempts to raise his approval rating by ordering an immediate invasion of their home base... New York City.

In response, PINCHBOTTOM DECLARES WAR and Drill Sergeant Canasta whips her Burly-Q Commandoes into fighting form with a rigorous basic training regimen. Burlesque stars AMBER RAY, BASTARD KEITH, CLAMS CASINO, LUKKI, NAUGHTIA NICE, PEEKABOO POINTE, POOKIE PATOOTIE, RUBY VALENTINE, TAYLOR MAC, TIGGER, and WORLD FAMOUS *BOB* must forswear their beloved bump & grind in favor of military maneuvers. In high-heeled boot camp, these performers will learn the most risque-sounding traditional army skills: standing at attention, drill formations, and proper care and handling of your equipment (both in and out of uniform).

When the two armies clash on the Collective:Unconscious battlefield on Friday, February 16th at 10pm, who will emerge victorious? Will Porkpie's elite Presidential unit infiltrate the burlesque stronghold? Or will his regime be toppled by Nasty's privates... when PINCHBOTTOM DECLARES WAR? Bombshells away!

ABOUT PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE
Explore the inner mind of burlesque with 'Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious.' Each monthly journey centers around a different theme, linking together striptease and variety acts from top performers with a topical narrative... and, believe it or not, a plot. 'Pinchbottom's Sub:Conscious' is where burlesque meets downtown theater, buys it a drink and takes it to bed. Hosted by NASTY CANASTA & JONNY PORKPIE, who should probably not be described at the Lunt-Fontannes of the New York Burlesque scene, although they do perform together with alarming frequency. "Wicked senses of humor" -The Village Voice (A Voice Choice); "Comedy and partial nudity go remarkably well together. Where else can you hoot, whistle, and bust a gut laughing?" -NY Theatre.com; "Hilarious burlesque" -Next Magazine; "Your perverted genre fantasies have come shimmying to life" -Time Out New York
