A former stripper has given an open and honest account of her decade-long career as an exotic dancer, in her upcoming play called 'Naked in Alaska'.
Valerie Hager has revealed that her show, which is part of the New York International Fringe Festival that kicks off Friday and runs through August 25, consists of Hager, a chair, and a stripper pole, the New York Daily News reported.
Hager, who draws on her experiences as an exotic dancer to depict a true-life tale, said that stripping is terrifying and exhilarating, dark and deep, hilarious and liberating.
For the entire ten years, starting in the mid-1990s, Hager stripped her clothes and shimmied her way through clubs in Tijuana, LA and Fairbanks, Alaska.
