The naughty, humorous and sophisticated Burlesco Notturno returns to Open Space for Arts & Community for an evening of world-class burlesque inspired by pop culture in the new show “Burlesco Notturno POP” at 8 p.m. Saturday. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Since its inception as the brainchild of Open Space co-founder Janet McAlpin, who appears as the beguiling co-host Madame X, the show has gathered an impressive array of performing artists.

Inga Ingenue, Ruby Mimosa, gender-blending performance art sensation Waxie Moon, Acrobatic Conundrum and Marina Mezzogiorno-Brown will each bring their unique acts to the stage. The Love Markets band will be back along with Madame X and her lawyer.

Optional ticket packages include the Burlesco VIP ticket with food from The Hardware Store, wine, a photo portrait with a Burlesco artist and reserved seating in the first two rows; the VIP Party Table includes a front-row table for eight, food, wine and a personally crafted surprise from Madame X; reserved tables for four without the food and wine are also available as are single tickets.

Tickets are available at Vashon Bookshop and at burlescopop. brownpapertickets.com.
