Portland-based production company Lacy Productions has mapped out an ambitious run of burlesque cabaret performances stretching from late June through mid-October 2026, with shows planned across venues in Portland, Seattle and Salem.
The lineup includes five distinct productions, each built around a different theme, ranging from a dinner cabaret inside a historic mansion to a gender-bending pride celebration and a literary-themed show focused on banned books.
Lacy Productions describes itself as a company that promotes sexual empowerment, body positivity, inclusivity and feminism through its performances.
The Belle Supper Club Returns To The Victorian Belle Mansion
The season’s anchor event is The Belle Supper Club: A Burlesque Dinner Cabaret, scheduled for Friday, July 10, 2026 at The Victorian Belle Mansion, located at 1441 North McClellan Street in Portland.
Gates open at 7pm, with the show beginning at 8pm.
The performance takes place inside the mansion’s covered garden gazebo, where attendees can enjoy dinner, cocktails and live entertainment. The mansion itself will be open for exploration for one hour before and after the show.
Ticket pricing is tiered. VIP front row table seats are $40, while second row table seats are available for $35. A tall bistro table seating four people is priced at $140, and general admission single tickets cost $25.
The company warns that ticket prices increase by $10 at the door. Door tickets will only be sold if capacity has not been reached.
The Belle Supper Club is a 21-and-over event.
Dapperlesque Celebrates Pride At Alberta Rose Theatre
The schedule kicks off with Dapperlesque: A Gender Bending Burlesque Cabaret (Pride Edition) on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland.
The show is described as a gender-bending medley of burlesque and drag. Tickets are available in advance or at the box office.
The production company flagged this event as a final-chance opportunity for ticket buyers, suggesting limited availability remains.
Banned Books Take Centre Stage At Booklover’s Burlesque
On Saturday, July 25, 2026, Lacy Productions will stage Booklover’s Burlesque: Banned Books Edition 2026 at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland.
The show is framed around books that have been censored or banned from bookshelves. The company positions the production as a response to what it describes as an ongoing attack on the freedom to read.
“It is time to take a stand against censorship,” the company stated in its promotional materials.
The production is billed as an entirely new show for 2026, and the company expects it to sell out.
Cinemalesque Pays Tribute To Film
Lacy Productions and The Alberta Rose Theatre will present Cinemalesque: A Burlesque Tribute to Film on Friday, August 14, 2026 at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland.
The show is built around iconic moments in cinema history. Audience members are encouraged to attend in costume, whether dressed as a favourite movie character or in Hollywood-inspired attire.
The production is positioned as part of the company’s ongoing effort to merge different art genres within its burlesque format.
Foolish Mortals Expands To Three Cities
The largest-scale production in the lineup is Foolish Mortals: A Haunted Mansion Burlesque Cabaret, which will run across three cities and five performance dates.
The Seattle leg takes place on September 26 at The Triple Door Theatre. Portland’s Alberta Rose Theatre will host three consecutive performances on October 2, 3 and 4. The run closes with a single night at Salem’s Historic Grand Theater on October 17.
The show draws its inspiration from haunted mansion imagery and ghost-themed storytelling, woven into the burlesque cabaret format.
Tickets for all five dates are available for purchase now. The company encouraged early booking, citing its track record of reaching capacity for its productions.
A Company Built On Inclusivity
Lacy Productions has built its identity around what it calls body-positive, queer-positive and feminist values. The company is based in Portland and produces shows primarily in the Pacific Northwest region, with occasional events further afield.
Knightly encouraged those who cannot attend upcoming performances to consider sponsoring the company or spreading the word to others.
