After performing to sold out crowds in Seattle, Portland, Chicago, New York, LA, and Detroit, the 18+ hit burlesque parody The Empire Strips Back is touching down for 2 months of live performances at the heart of the Sawyer Yards campus in Arts District Houston.

Dropping the classic space fantasy characters into the world of burlesque—scantily clad and seriously sultry. The parody features both menacing and risqué dance, larger than life performers—we’re looking at you, giant Hutt puppet—and even the droids you’re looking for.

Future dates available through Sunday, March 30, 2025.
