The Society of Sin Does Shakespeare Burlesque for Fringe Fest

In our version, Lysander and Hermia are a lesbian couple, the

Meet The Society of Sin: A New Orleans Burlesque and Variety Collective
Hello, and welcome to The Society of Sin! We're a troupe of burlesque and variety performers based in New Orleans, Louisiana.
