The Triple Door's Summer of Riesling Burlesco DiVino: Wine in Rome show will take the audience on a wine-soaked adventure through two eras. The first, a harvest celebration that calls forth the God of Wine himself in the time of the Roman Empire, and the second, the story of an intrepid reporter determined to photograph a reclusive diva in Rome during the swingin' Sixties.
Inspired by the great costume epics, Quo Vadis and Satvricon, as well as mid-century visions of Rome, this show mixes classical and jazz music with the traditional music of ancient Rome and Italian go-go rock. Costumed by the illustrious music of Daniel Hellman, arcane priestesses, paparazzi, Vespa-girls, fire dancers, and fashionistas all take their turn in the spotlight. This "party through time" mixes belly dance, go-go, and ballet with comedy, song, striptease, and glamour for an orgy that lasts 2,000 years!
Featuring burlesque superstars Lily Verlaine, Inga Ingenue, The Luminous Pariah, Paris Original, Trojan Original, and Jasper McCann, with rising starlets Laurel Bordeaux, Tory Tiara, Holly Pop, Persephone Illyri, and the fusion belly-dance trio Tribella, the show will leave you punch-drunk in delight! Burlesco DiVino: Wine in Rome is the intoxicating theatrical burlesque mélange that you've come to expect from Verliane, McCann, and company.

The notoriously satirical, Sandra Bernhard, graced our Mainstage last night. Saying she "furiously mocked the follies intrinsic to the human condition" would be an understatement.

The Triple Door is dipping their toes in a pool of laughs this summer with Death Defying Adventures in Comedy with Dana Gould, Cathy Sorbo, David Crowe, Lee Callahan and Jakael Tristram Trio on June 2nd for two shows!
Before cannonballing into aforementioned pool, The Triple Door got their hands on an interview between CultureMob Contributor, Tom Mohrman, and comedian Dana Gould. The interview features Gould's thoughts on visiting Seattle, his experience working on The Simpsons, and a possible collaboration with grunge godfather, Dave Grohl.
Tom Mohrman: Will the show at The Triple Door be like a cabaret? Dana Gould: It's not just people talking into a mic. Cathy is way too creative to be pigeonholed, and the people that she travels with. It's... the farther you get away from an actual theater, the more I enjoy theatrical experiences. Like to me the best version of a theatrical experience is really good haunted house around Halloween. I much more enjoy that. An unemployed hygienist in bad zombie makeup coming out of the closet, I get a much bigger thrill out of than being in Lincoln Center. What I love about Cathy, and why I work with her so much, is that she's no pigeonholed into one way of performing. She has the point of view that it can be music, it can be scenes, it can be character-her point of views is consistent, and she's always re-defining how she wants to present herself in terms of an audience. I wouldn't say it's a cabaret, but if you just come expecting people to gab into a mic, you're going to get a lot more than that. Except when I'm on. Then you're going to get exactly that.
