On September 8th, 2023, the Poetry Brothel Toronto made its dazzling debut at COIN8 Studios, immersing enchanted patrons in the theme 'A Midsummer Night's Masquerade.'

Introducing the captivating Brendee Green as Toronto’s Brothel Madame, Titania, the Masquerade transported Toronto’s patrons - Janes, Johns, and Joes (gender non-binary) - into a world of intimacy, mystery and magic. Masked and magically attired attendees explored the whimsical ambiance of the evening, delighting in bespoke cocktails, majestical decor, and private readings in the exclusive Whisper Room. 

VIP guests were treated to The Poetry Brothel Toronto’s handcrafted masks, initiating Toronto’s tradition of VIP collectible items, now offered at every Brothel. A full lineup of poets and musicians captivated audiences with their performances, while Starlotte Satine mesmerised with a spellbinding burlesque act.

Attendees indulged in private readings, immersing themselves in personalised poetry experiences. The event also featured a sprawling selfie trap photo space adorned with enchanting handmade art and imagery, inviting guests to capture memories of the night's enchantment.
