Le Boudoir is a cultural institution for Montreal's local lesbian community and avant-garde performing arts scene, presenting a multidisciplinary spectrum of talents, most of whom are commissioned to create work specially for the event. The evening will feature an exciting three-act program (a dozen short acts and a 35-minute play). Adding to the ambiance are tasty treats, a Joytoyz lounge where you can get feather massages, and a Boudoir boutique with one-of-a-kind souvenirs.
