Differently Abled Entertainment’s Eclectic Brigade is our boldly inclusive, proudly diverse burlesque & drag troupe—your passport to theatrical thrills where every body, identity, and story matters. Since its inception as a division of DAE, Eclectic Brigade has championed performers of all backgrounds, abilities, sizes, genders, and orientations, weaving neo‑burlesque’s wit, glamour, and subversion into every show.
## Our Philosophy
Diversity as Centerstage
Diversity as Centerstage
We believe burlesque and drag are revolutionary acts of self‑expression, dismantling stereotypes and amplifying under‑heard voices. Like leading inclusive troupes nationwide, we celebrate:
All abilities—physical, cognitive, and sensory—on our stage
Every gender identity & orientation, from cis and trans to nonbinary and gender‑fluid
All body types, ages, and ethnicities, because glamour knows no bounds
Accessibility & Belonging
As part of DAE, we ensure:
Wheelchair‑accessible venues and staging
The Cabaret
## What We Produce
Neo‑Burlesque Revues blending classic tease with modern and personal narratives
High‑energy Drag Shows that critique gender norms while igniting joy and solidarity
Themed Variety Nights (e.g., Drenched in Desire, Once Upon A Tease, Hott as HELL Summer Solstice, Cabaret of Curiosities) that unite cabaret, comedy, and circus arts under one inclusive roof
## Why Eclectic Brigade Matters
Community Impact: We partner with local LGBTQ+, disability, and cultural organizations to create safe, celebratory spaces.
Artistic Innovation: Our performers remix vintage burlesque tropes with contemporary social‑justice themes.
Empowerment Through Performance: Echoing national movements (“Drag Queen Story Hour” for inclusion) we harness performance as activism, fostering resilience and radical self‑love.
