Step into a realm where every word is a caress, and every movement a sultry invitation.

As the lights dim, the stage transforms into a haven of desire, adorned with the essence of mystery and seduction. The air is thick with anticipation, as the first notes of poetic ecstasy fill the room. Renowned poets of Los Angeles, masters of the written word, take the stage to weave tales of love, passion, and the forbidden.

Sweet Tarts offers an tantalizing experience where passion is not just felt but savored. It's a celebration of the senses, an exploration of the erotic, and a journey into the art of pleasure that will linger in your memory long after the final curtain falls. Join us for a night of enchantment, where the sweetest of temptations beckon and the boundaries between art and desire blur into an unforgettable tapestry of indulgence.

Madam Tallula presents a rotating cast of poets who impart their work as purveyors of private poetry readings in secret, hidden, well-appointed chambers. You may avail yourself of your choice of poet for tokens at any time during the event.

On the patio, the troupe presents Tarot readings, poetic souvenirs, live typewriter poetry, and occasional dance and musical performances.

On the stage, a three-hour roster of Vaudeville variety entertainment... and words, words, words! The El Cid tapas kitchen and bar will be open for dinner and drinks throughout.
