Ladies investing in performance, song, theater, innovation and creative knowledge....

Welcome to L.I.P.S.T.I.C.K, an entertainment group founded on the love of performance and dance. In mid 2009, four young women joined forces to produce a dance company that focuses on fusing art, networking, and the community. To date they have performed at Gallery 5, Rendezvous Restaurant & Lounge, local radio events, and various artist's showcases.  Independently they have created their own productions, MUSE & Adventures of Eve.  MUSE was an eclectic variety show in the style of a cabaret, which premiered December 2009.  MUSE brought together musicians, thespians, dancers, singers, and artists for an entertaining night of performance and exhibition.  Adventures of Eve, a tribute show that chronicled influtential women in entertainment, premiered in April 2011 at Richmond's Grace St. Theater.  Dancers and vocalists arranged performances that paid homage to those transcendent icons in the entertainment industry.  L.I.P.S.T.I.C.K’s goal is to support the performing arts by continuing to provide showcase and networking opportunities for other artists in Richmond and the surrounding areas.  The women of L.I.P.S.T.I.C.K want people to know that their name and beliefs do not imply vanity.  The idea of “lipstick” should not be seen as a corrective or something to hide behind.  It should be perceived as another form of expression and acceptance of being in one’s skin.
