Polyesther: A Queer Purim Party For All

There is simply nothing like PolyEsther; just ask any of the 800 guests from last year’s sold-out party. This year we are going queerer, kookier, & kinkier. That means we are partnering with House of Yes in Brooklyn to throw the largest and most epic Queer Purim Party for All. 

Come through the looking glass and experience two huge dance floors, immersive performances in every corner, and a Purim wonderland where you definitely won’t be able to tell the difference between Esther and Mordechai! Craving a Bris Station / Circumcision Salad bar? We got you. How about a Drag Shtreimel Petting Zoo? We got that. Crazy costumes are advised, but there will be makeup and masquerade corners for last minute makeovers. Of course, for anyone too uptight, there will be plenty of poppers. 

Purim is the ancient Jewish holiday where getting drunk, high, and silly is the main commandment. This year it falls on a Monday night, which means you might want to already call in late for work on Tuesday. Tuesdays come every week, Purim is once a year. Don’t miss out. 

7:00PM: Doors

7:30PM – 9:30PM: Purim Shpiel theater shows, with multiple Megillah experiences by The Neighborhood, Labshul, Temple Of The Stranger, and Frummy speed readings. 

10:00pm – 2:00am: Esther’s Mad T Party in the Onyx Room hosted by Shalom Dykes

10:30pm – 4:00am: The Purim Rave in the Main Room hosted by Tarimi, Flaminggg, The Sephardic Mizrahi Q Network, and Mad Madame Mordechai
