Overview

“My lover is like a gazelle…”

The steamiest part of the Hebrew Bible is now the steamiest offering from Theatre Ariel!

Join us for a mischievous night of sacred sensuality as we celebrate the Song of Songs through the bold, boisterous, and bawdy interpretations of some of Philly’s best burlesque artists! You won’t want to miss witnessing this ancient love poem brought to life in all its lyrical — and lustful — splendor.
