Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society

"The great thing about Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society... is that the company truly honours the “new” in “new burlesque.” The women on-stage here are subjects, rather than objects; they’re celebrating their erotic selves on their own terms for their own pleasure—and inviting us along for the ride." - Colin Thomas, Georgia Straight

Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society is a Vancouver based, member run, not-for profit society established to produce and promote entertaining and innovative performing arts. Our goal is to make the performing arts more fun, provocative, empowering and accessible.

We are part theatre company, part burlesque troupe, part advocacy group and part school. Our membership consists of friends and family members, performers of all stripes, techs, promoters and producers, writers and supporters of the arts.

The Chickens take great pride in producing top quality shows, from the Taboo Revue Burlesque Variety Show -Vancouver’s longest running burlesque show to our critically acclaimed feature theatrical productions.

We also offer a range of burlesque classes, courses and workshops taught by Vancouver’s most experienced intructors. If you’re interested in experiencing the stage there is Becoming Burlesque - a two month intensive class that will get you on stage for your first time. Or there are our weekly drop-in classes great for both performers and non-performers.
