Xena Zeit-Geist

Since 2014, she has been devoting herself full time to entertaining, inspiring and enchanting the masses, whether on stage at a burlesque show, on the screen of a TV show or movie, or at a photo or counseling session. A SAG-AFTRA member since 2018, her career has taken her from the pulpy Florida-set crime world of TNT's Claws (2017), where she made her TV debut as the recurring "White-Haired Stripper" and landed her first lead actress role to the onset of the zombie virus outbreak, where she played teen punk-rocker "Mazzy" in Eat Brains Love (2018) to Christmas time in a Southern church, where she became fresh-faced seamstress-turned-singer "Sasha" in BET's Christmas Belles (2019). In the burlesque world, she is perhaps best known as the brains behind The Society of Sin Burlesque & Variety, the production company through which she brings most of her magic to the stage. She founded The Society of Sin in 2014 after the first burlesque show she wrote and produced, a Batman-inspired burlesque parody play titled "Arkham ASSylum," played to sold-out performances weekend after weekend. Since then, she has created dozens of burlesque and variety shows, including numerous works that combine popular fandoms and cosplay with the art of burlesque, such as "Harry Potter & the Bedchamber of Secrets," "A Midsummer Night's Wet Dream," "It's Always Sunny in Burlesque" and "Bob's Burglesque." in addition to many pop culture themed nerdlesque revues, like "Super Smash Bras," "Glitter Is Coming," "Every Day Is Halloween," and "Inconceivable!". Outside of her own productions, you can catch Xena performing or emceeing for Bella Blue Productions at Gravier Street Social Club, Barcadia, The Allways Lounge and SoBou, as well as electrifying the stage at House of Blues New Orleans or Vinyl Music Hall Pensacola with her death-defying grinder girl act at Inferno Burlesque. Xena has also performed in New York at the Nerdlesque International Festival at Coney Island and regularly collaborates with Wizard World Comic Con to organize fun events.
