It’s back to school time – the brianiacs are in study hall breaking the curve, the jocks are all at practice, but the fun kids… you know, the naughty ones… they’re all stuck in detention. Thing is, this detention is a blast, no one wants to leave!!

ALCHEMY: Detention After Dark
Saturday July 26, 2025
9pm-3am
The Pussycat Lounge
96 Greenwich Street
FiDi, Manhattan

-- Busted for smoking in the bathroom? Then you’re required to go to Mistress Tuesday’s workshop on playing with fire (and hot wax) responsibly! Experience wax play after if you dare.

-- Break the school rules? Vice principal Mistress Chi doles out corporal punishment!

-- Didn’t wear the proper school uniform?!? Then take off those non-regulation clothes (or watch others do so) at a preview of our hit game show Battlestrip

-- Burlesque delinquents Pandora, Ms. Pinkie Special, and Nina La Voix show you how they get in trouble!

-- Hard to not get busted for lewd behavior at the school dance, given the booty shakin’ beats of Orion and Ali Coleman

-- The school choir gets naughty too with Underwear Karaoke! (You don’t have to sing in your undies… but if you do, you get moved to the front of the line!)

Important Details:

**Enthusiastic Affirmative Consent is required for all touch! Flirting, a sexy glance, a nod and smile, simply not saying no – none of these things equal consent! You must get a clear, verbal, sober 'yes' before touching others. Violations of this will result in removal from the event. If anyone does not understand our consent standard, or is making you uncomfortable in any way, please let us/security know!

**Cell phones/photos are allowed – but ONLY with the consent of all who are identifiable in the shot. Get permission from everyone before posting anywhere!

**Dress code is anything school related – school uniforms, cheerleaders, athletes, goth kids, school librarians, teachers, etc. Fetish gear (leather, latex, etc.) also fits the dress code anytime at Alchemy. If not in costume please look your best, we reserve the right to not admit anyone who is dressed sloppily and not to the theme.

**ALCHEMY is a kinky sexy dance party for our openminded, progressive community, and sensual fun and exploration is encouraged! Please keep in mind though the comfort of others and our liquor-licensed venue...Alchemy is rated R, not X... Alchemy is for first base and rounding second, but not third base or home runs... Alchemy is 'take out', not 'eat in'... Alchemy is not Chemistry… we think you get what we mean!! [BUT – this one has a play afterparty VERY close by, see below for details]

**ALCHEMY will have a cash bar (it is NOT BYOB). One drink minimum per person, please.

**You do NOT have to be a member of Chemistry to attend Alchemy, so tell/bring your friends! Alchemy is great for those dipping their toes into the world of sexy parties, as well as for the experienced!

**Tickets for Alchemy are non-refundable (but you may gift/resell them).
