Spotlight on Black House Cabaret; Adult Entertainment- Vapor Paragorn Reporting…

    Black house is a newly opened cabaret venue, where they claim to portray darker Side of burlesque. It was opened on February 22, 2013 with their first burlesque show.

It is located in an adult region featuring up beat music and burlesque events throughout the week. Upon entering the place you will land in middle of roadway surrounded by Gothic atmosphere. While walking towards the theater building you will find few vendors and ad boards on old rusted walls. On the ad boards you can advertise your own venue or other services. The main theater building is designed in an old fashioned 70's western structure. It has a mysterious feel. At the theater's entrance you will be welcomed by classic movies posters, feathered on gallery wall. They also have their DJ's and staff member’s posters outside main hall's entrance. In the front lobby you will find a surprising kinky showcase, with different kinds of adult content. That will give you a hint about the surprise factor in black house burlesque shows.

Black House Theater has two levels. At the ground level they have a big stage area surrounded by dance poles. There is a bar on one side and many fine dining in front and side of stage area for settling in and enjoying the show. There are dining tables and chairs on second level as well with a terrace view of stage area down below.

Black House Theater's whole interior is pleasantly dim, which gives it a cozy feel. They have fancy lighting effects and they design creative sets for each performance.  Performers act and dance to rocking musical tracks, dressed in specially designed costumes.

 If you are tired of regular clubs and theme events and you are more into the Adult scene then Black House cabaret is recommended for you. They claim to provide unique kinds of entertainment that you won't find elsewhere in SL.

 I talked to co-owner Shayia Resident to know more about this fascinating venue.

Pathmaker Campbell-MacGregor is a visionary and somebody who believes in making his dreams come true.

  Pathmaker does so through sheer tenacity and hard work and has had a long cherished idea of creating a theatre to put on plays and performances for the audiences of sl.  The end result of this determination and effort and after many months of planning and finally getting together his first rate team, is that he has come up with an incredible show to both titillate, tantalise tease and torment and I was privileged enough to be invited to attend the final rehearsals ahead of the grand opening on Sunday, December 2^nd at 10 am.

Aware that Paths shows are somewhat ‘racy’ I posed my first question to him somewhat warily.

Mariella:  Path, What sort of entertainment can people expect when they come to one of your shows?

PATH: When people come to Paramount Playhouse, they'll see tasteful yet erotic performances by beautiful, talented ladies and of course our fabulous male lead, mixed with more light-hearted comedic acts similar to what you'd find in Vaudeville. Our sets are elaborate, the music carefully selected to fit the scenes, the costumes are fabulous and the theatre itself has an intimate 1930's Art Deco feel that is both warm and welcoming. We’ve worked very hard to create an ‘atmosphere’ so that people attending can be immersed in the overall experience. It’s not just ‘another’ show, it’s very professional, classy entertainment and yes, it’s a bit saucy, but that all adds to the fun.
