Romancing the Stage: A Steamy, Bookish Fundraiser

Titillating readings, for a cause! Hosted by Gia Sangria Swoon, laugh, and gasp at our spiciest fundraiser yet—a night of readings from our favourite romance novels! Featuring meet cutes, simmering will-they-won’t-they tension, love triangles, one-night stands, fanfic, ripped bodices, and a whole lot of spice, this collection of readings will span sexual orientations and gender expressions—no judgement, no shame, and no guilt in these pleasures. This alluring event will help raise much needed funds for Presentation House Theatre’s programming, supporting our (much more wholesome) work with children, seniors, Indigenous partners, emerging artists, and more! Bring your besties or bring a date, just don’t bring your kids! Enjoy some specialty cocktails, and maybe walk away with a romantic raffle prize! Every ticket comes with a free handheld fan. VIP Tickets get you a blind date with a book, a free drink, a sweet treat, 5 free raffle tickets, and a naughty limerick written just for you. Adults Only! Expect strong language and explicit sexual content. CONTENT NOTE: Readings will include diverse sexual orientations, gender expressions, and include explicit sexual activity across a wide range of desires, but will not include any non-consent, violence, or discrimination-based activities.
