The Sophisticating of Andrew Snowdon
April 2010

Only Shakespeare seems to have outlasted burlesque on the theatre stage. It’s only been recently that writer Andrew Snowdon has delved into the scene, and his fascination grew greater after meeting the founder of local troupe Rockalily Burlesque. So much so that he agreed to perform on stage with her during a recent show using the name Silverstick.
Snowdon relates the experience succinctly in a piece he wrote on the experience for Ottawa Tonite. But it’s not just about stripping down to his underwear. He writes about the deep emotional connection troupe members have with each other and how it taught Snowdon himself a little bit more about the value of “rocking the boat.” His piece can be read at http://www.ottawatonite.com/2010/04/the-mostly-naked-truth-onstage-with-rockalily-burlesque.
Rockalily’s next performance will be at Mavericks on April 7.
