An immersive Purim party of masks, music, and mischief—where Esther’s story comes alive all around you.
PURIM AT IDEAL GLASS: ESTHER’S MIX is an immersive Purim party inspired by the Book of Esther—reimagined as a decadent, playful world of masks, music, performance, and surprise.
Guests are invited to move freely through the space as the story of Esther unfolds around them. Rather than a traditional seated show, this is a living party: performers roam, scenes emerge and dissolve, and the audience becomes part of the celebration. Expect moments of spectacle, mischief, and intimacy—where joy, secrecy, resistance, and revelation blur together.
✨ What to Expect
Immersive, party-style experience (not a seated show)
Roaming performers & interactive moments

Celebrate Venezuelan courage with leaders and activists discussing freedom, democracy, and the fight against socialism. Join us.
Join us for A Conservative Celebration of Venezuelan Courage, a powerful event honoring the bravery, resilience, and unbreakable spirit of the Venezuelan people in their fight for freedom. Hosted by the Hispanic Caucus of the New York Young Republican Club, this gathering will spotlight the ongoing struggle against socialism, the pursuit of democracy, and the stories of those who refuse to be silenced.
The evening will feature influential voices, journalists, activists, and community leaders who have lived through or closely followed the Venezuelan fight for liberty. Together, we will discuss the humanitarian crisis, the collapse of democratic institutions, the rise of authoritarianism, and how conservative values—faith, family, freedom—play an essential role in Venezuela’s path forward.
This event is not only a celebration—it’s a call to unity. A moment for conservatives across Latin America and the U.S. to stand together, defend freedom, and support Venezuelans at home and abroad.
If you believe in democracy, human rights, and the power of truth, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

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.
