The Playhouse (5656 Avenue du Parc)
$10 suggested donation; all money goes to the Sense Project

We recently celebrated the 2nd anniversary of our dear queer dance party, Faggity Ass Fridays. This monthly fundraiser provides a steady flow of income for the Sense Project (yay!) and a sexy space for queers to get down (double yay!)!!

The party would not be nearly as much fun (or as lucrative!) without the help of many, many fabulous volunteers. These people pull door shifts until 3:30 am, dance around in panties and prosthetics for screaming crowds, and distribute condoms like it is going out of style. One of our most beloved volunteers is Xavier Tolentino, who has used his creative genius and dirty mind to produce almost every single poster for every single Faggity. Thank you Xavs - we love you!!

Check out some of Xavier’s amazing work here:
