Roanoke burlesque troupe Cookies & Anarchy teamed with the O. Winston Link Museum to create a variety show in celebration of the Henry Horenstein black and white photography exhibition “Show” — and the resulting performance this past Saturday at Jefferson Center sold out.

Link Museum director Kim Parker told me Saturday that “The Show: Burlesque & Variety Extravaganza” was likely the most successful event in the museum’s history. The museum sold 150 seats, maximum capacity for the Rehearsal Hall.
