Krystal Boynton of Franklin Special Guest at Burlesque Night Live

LACONIA — Krystal Boynton of Franklin will be the special guets when Burlesque Night Live (BNL) resumes at Pitman's Freight Room on Wednesday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m..

Although only 20 years of age, Boynton is already an experienced singer and community theatre actor, appearing in over 40 productions with the Franklin High School Players and Franklin Footlight Community Theatre.

Before moving on to "big time" theatre in NYC, Krystal will join the BNL cast of crazies for this week's big Laconia show.

Burlesque Night Live is a series of musical variety shows, featuring accomplished singers, hilarious comedy sketches and classic musical theatre numbers.

Written and directed by Rick Morten and produced by Peter Brunette for Pointless Forest Productions of Lakeport, and hosted by comic and writer Zach Foote, BNL showcases the talents of local actors and singers in a bawdy genre familiar to dance hall era, with a taste of TV musical variety shows of the 1960s and -70's, like the Dean Martin and Carol Burnette Shows and Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.

Burlesque Night Live runs through June 13, with a different show and featured performer every week. Doors open at 7 p.m. show time is 7:30, Admission is $12 (BYOB), and light refreshments will be available.

Pitman's Freight Room, a former warehouse lovingly refurbished as a function room and performance space, is located at 94 New Salem Street in Downtown Laconia.
