Welcome

Rock Candy Burlesque is an artistic entity that is welcoming of artists from all walks of life with diverse creative and cultural backgrounds. Established in 2012 as a performing troupe, Rock Candy Burlesque is committed to creating spaces that are accessible to people of all abilities and financial status, and inclusive of artists of all shapes, sizes, shades, abilities, gender presentation, expression and identity; sexual orientation and ethnic origin. The collective dissolved in 2021, and the RCB brand is now currently owned and operated by Latina K Presents, a Latinx/Immigrant/LGBTQ arts organization lead by founding RCB member Latina K Turner D’Ho (formerly Perlita Picante). Latina K Presents is fiscally sponsored by the arts non-profit Shunpike.

Rock Candy keeps working hard to produce entertaining shows that offer a variety of talents and styles to the city we call home, prioritizing local performers. We are hoping to bring bi-annual or quarterly productions in 2025, and for that we need your support! Consider making a tax-deductible donation to Latina K Presents or explore sponsorship opportunities here.
