Romantics Vs. Rebels

Overview

Romantics Vs. Rebels isn't just for lovers. It doesn't matter if you're single or coupled - and who cares what gender or orientation you align with? All that matters is that you pick the queendom you align with and pledge allegiance to helping your queen win honor and glory in this hilarious tawdry farce full of comedy, music and interactivity.

Come as subjects, come as neutral judges or come as royalty and be prepared to play along - costumes and/or team colors highly recommended! You'll have the most fun you've ever had on a random outing! Great for Girl's Night, Guy's Night, Group Night or Date Night!

The Queendoms

Romantics -Team Red. Led by the Queen of Hearts and her flirtatious knight. Love can be intoxicating! Single or coupled, we need our mushy gushy crushy highs (and lows!). It's all for all and --- well all for all. We love you. Like...really love you.

Rebels - Team Black. Led by the Queen of swords and ....well...attended by her "unique" knight. There's a lot to be said for self love. Single or coupled, we don't mind racy but we need our spacey. It's one for one and sometimes one for one and one for one together comfortably, but the rest of the world is just fine - over there.

The Nobles -The VIP nobility tickets for each team ensure you will be along the front of the stage and engage in the most interaction. Royalty also have name placards and chocolates and candies for your consumption. Everyone knows the nobles have the wildest parties.

The Royal Council - You be the judge. The neutral royal council members will be sat at the bar and given judging cards to be the official judges for each round of games and determine which team gets the points.

General seating General seating for each team will still have plenty of fun and be part of the fun and games.

Divinity Rose - An award winning comedian, stage and screenwriter and producer/director, Divinity spends much of her time these days on award winning video projects or in the film and TV industry but loves to write for interactive theater and technology. She is a gushy mushy crushy Queen of hearts.

Lee Ann Cooper - A true showwoman, this powerhouse of creativity has been a crowd favorite in Burlesque for years thanks to her seductive moves, stunning costumes, sly wit, beautiful voice, timeless style, and ridiculous sense of humor. She's sharp witted, sleek nad the perfect Queen of Swords.
