About us
On August 5th, 2013, seven sparkly humans trained in dance, theater, and music came together to take their clothes off in a class called Burlesque for Performers, taught by the incomparable Cherry Manhattan. After weeks of intensive training in the art of bump and grind, they agreed that in order to preserve the sanc-titty of their namesake, they must become The Rainier Cherries and take their love of glitter, theatrics, and being butt-nekkid to the stages of Seattle, WA.
The Rainier Cherries are like any other siblings: they enjoy pillow fighting in nighties, braiding each other's hair, mud wrestling and comparing tan lines. Their rip-roaring humor and romp-in-the-sheets sex appeal makes these 7 deadly sinners a tasty treat that overwhelms the palette and satisfies even the most insatiable of appetites. From pollination to pornography, the Cherries' shows are a smorgasbord of style and a variety of vivacity - yet the thing that unites these unique performers is that they each have a powerful love for narrative, which brings an unexpected twist to every performance.

Meet the cherries
Penny Banks
They've called her a slut. They've called her a whore. But now, all they crave is "The Porn Star Next Door!" Traveling through the tropes of popular adult entertainment, Penny Banks brings sticky delights with her everywhere she goes--but not without the intent to clean it all up. Follow her down the rabbit hole (you haven't got a choice, have you?) as she tugs on your leash and leads you into the depths of her dirty dreams. Find out more about the woman behind the porn star here. |
Titania Teaseblossom
Titania Teaseblossom relishes in mischief and wreaking bloody havoc, and will admit to some occasional Unseelie behavior. Like all members of the Fairy Court, the Queen herself is particularly skilled in the art of glamour - the ability to transform her appearance by magical means. If you see her, it’s only because she wants you to see her. Every seven years, this Fairy Queen must pay a tithe to hell with whichever mortal lover is nearest and most expendable. It’s been six years, dearie, so what will you offer to garner her favour? Gold? Swarovski? Bucket of milk with the cream left on? ...Your first-born child? |
Verity Germaine
Verity Germaine is a born and bred Seattle girl who grew up in the theater world, enthusiastically slid sideways into burlesque not long ago, and is now a founding member of the Rainier Cherries burlesque troupe. She is a re-mixed vintage vixen with a penchant for history, a variety of geekery, and probably too much bass and banjo in her music. She was recently seen as the Golden Snitch in Accio Burlesque, and can be seen in Whedonesque Burlesque in August and Star Trek: The Sexed Generation in September. |
Vixy Post
Vixy Post is the girl next door... with a deviant side! Coming from a musical background, Vixy was bound for the stage early, singing and playing piano in church until her inner demon crept in and the urge for a different kind of performance became too strong. She hopped a train to Los Angeles with a wig on her head and dreams of rhinestones in her heart. After years on the film and television scene, Vixy craved something deeper. A richer connection to her audience. A chance to really reveal herself... That opportunity presented itself in the form of The Rainier Cherries. Since graduating 'Cherry Manhattan's Burlesque for Actors', Vixy Post has been busy on and off the burlesque stage. In addition to being a trained ballroom dancer and teacher, Vixy has combined other forms of dance and performance to her burlesque repertoire. Today, you can see Vixy performing on Seattle stages and behind the scenes where she plans to continue production on various self produced titles including 'Oops, I Lost My Shirt' and 'Bi Bi Bi- A Tribute to N' Sync.'
