Maine Anders, aka The Maine Attraction, Guest Faculty

Coined the “Triple Threat of Burlesque”, Maine Anders, aka The Maine Attraction (she/her), captivates audiences every time she hits the stage. This international sensation has performed everywhere from MGM Grand’s Studio 54 (Las Vegas), Le Bus Palladium (Paris), Buddha Bar (Beirut), Dragon-I (Hong Kong) to The National Theatre Iceland (Reykjavik). She has toured with DJ Tiesto, performed on the Latin Grammys with Wisin y Yandel and has joined several legends including James Brown, Lionel Richie, and Pharrell Williams, burlesque divas Dita Von Tease and Amanda Lepore, making The Maine Attraction a legend in her own right. Her ability to transform herself into a myriad of characters gives her the opportunity to play roles that are left of center, and the elements of sex, comedy and drama effortlessly, as seen in her self-conceptualized one woman show, The Last Day of Black History Month: A Conversation With A Naked Southern Black Lesbian. She was one of the featured dancers for the 2015 Grammy Award fuse Winner Cheek to Cheek PBS Special with Lada Gaga and Tony Bennett. She played principal characters in multiple off-Broadway productions such as the burlesque murder mystery, Lady L’ Amour’s Final Bow and Broadway on the Bowery. Her latest achievement is her debut as a producer in what has now become a touring burlesque review, Life in Sepia. She’s a star in musical theater, television and film and will continue to grace any stage where she can let her creativity ride. IG: @themaineattractionny!
