The Poetry Brothel: Astro Poetica

Calling all star-crossed lovers and astro besties! This Pride season, The Poetry Brothel Boston invites you to a night of poetry, burlesque, live music, pole, drag, mysticism, and more—all inspired by one of our favorite obsessions: astrology. We’ll flaunt like Leos, flirt like Libras, dive deep like Scorpios, and explore with the boundless spirit of Sagittarius. So come meet us under the stars for a night of celestial seduction you won’t forget. Event Details Age Requirement: 21+ Doors Open: 7:00 PM Show Time: 7:30–10:30 PM Private Readings: Continue until 11:00 PM VIP Tickets include:<ul><li>Priority seating in front of the stage</li><li>A meet &amp; greet with the Madame</li><li>A swag bag filled with naughty &amp; literary goodies</li><li>Tokens to begin your immersive journey</li></ul>Please note: Seating is limited (approx. 70 chairs). What is The Poetry Brothel? As described in The New Yorker, The Poetry Brothel is where “a madam presents a rotating cast of poets, artists, and artisans who erupt into verse in public and lure guests into back rooms for private readings.” Each artist performs in character—an alter ego that acts as both disguise and liberation—creating a space of uninhibited creative expression, intimate connection, and poetic magic. Our cast reflects the rich diversity of our city, with performers who are cis and trans women, cis and trans men, genderqueer, genderfluid, and nonbinary artists; people of color; queer and straight; emerging and established voices alike. You might meet faeries, sirens, witches, aliens, royalty, demons, ancient forests—and everything in between. Some of our artists do engage in sex work outside of this space, but The Poetry Brothel is a literary and immersive arts experience only. Consent &amp; Conduct Behave with beauty, connect with intention. We are, by and large, a no-contact event—here to blow your mind and nothing else. Always ask before touching anyone in our House. If you experience or witness anything uncomfortable, please report it to security, staff, or the Madam immediately. Please note: our show may include flashing lights, amplified music, and perhaps a startling glimpse of your true self.
