🐮 Fresh Face on the Farm 🐔

We’re so excited to welcome Dee Lightfull to the Theatre N Cabaret stage! She’s traveling down from New York to make her Barnyard Hoe-Down debut on Friday, August 22nd—and trust us, she’s bringing plenty of sparkle for our barnyard bash.

Here’s a taste of what Dee is all about:

Dee Lightfull is a bold, bodacious performer from Freeville, New York, known for serving up full-figured fantasy with a wink, a wiggle, and a whole lot of wit. Equal parts sultry and smartass, she’s spent the last five years slaying stages across nine states and two countries with her signature blend of neo, nerdy, and comedic burlesque.

In 2025, she strutted her stuff at the Vermont Burlesque Festival. That same year, she produced Reveal-ution!, a landmark show headlined by burlesque icon Bella Sin, amplifying diverse voices and reminding the audience that joy is a form of resistance. As founder of Burlesque Buffet, Dee has created an inclusive, high-impact platform for emerging and established performers to serve up their most dee-licious selves. She also shared her burly brainpower as a virtual instructor for BurlyCon in 2024.

A Rubenesque celebration of eyes and thighs, Dee Lightfull is an unapologetic revelation of pervy and flirty that you can dee-pend on to leave hearts racing and pulses pounding! She’s not just delightful—she’s Dee Lightfull.

🎟 Use promo code DEE at checkout to save $5 off your Advance Ticket and put an extra $5 straight into Dee’s performer payout.

🌾💃 Don’t miss Dee Lightfull at Barnyard Hoe-Down — Friday, August 22nd at Theatre N! https://linktr.ee/TheatreNCabaret

Science Fiction is when Autistic ppl are Aliens, Robots, & Cyborgs and accepted for who they are.

Fantasy is when Autistic ppl are Elves, Fey, & Dragons, and accepted for who they are.

Anime is when Autistic ppl are accepted for who they are. (And often includes a trip to a hot spring)
