The Girlie Show - A Burlesque Review closed its brief run Sunday evening to a standing-room-only audience at the Studio@620 in downtown St. Petersburg. Produced by Glenn Grieves and Jamieson Lindenburg, the show was the inaugural production of the newly formed group 20@620 a theater initiative that creates opportunities for performing artists ages 29 and younger. The show included Michelle Dowdy, who flew in direct from Broadway's Hairspray.
