Held from August 18-22 in the heart of Chicago, and with Chicago's own Michelle L'amour at the helm, ‘The Chicago International BURLESQUE FRINGE FESTIVAL’ will set itself apart from other festivals around the world by inviting topnotch producers to bring their entire productions, instead of hosting a series of events featuring solo performers alone.
