We are always trying to reflect and make our show more accessible within our means. All of the production crew donate their time and each show takes about 80 hours to put together.
For our next show and other shows in the future we are going to try out this new system. Wheel chair users, and other mobility aid users will be brought in ahead of the rest of the audience. They will be given reserved seats in front of the stage. In these seats they are less likely to have other audience members moving around them.
It will mean that is helpful if they arrive about half an hour before the show, so we can do this. It will also mean that it might be hard for them to move from that spot once they are in (we will always help you to move if you need to).
So we thought it might be a good idea if you meet the person who is going to greet you for the show on the 5th of July.
tickets for the 5th of July in the bio or from https://www.smithsalternative.com/events/the-queer-variety-show-97864?d=5%2F07%2F2026+3%3A00%3A00+PM

If you are a wheel chair user, Rat Bastard will greet ou before the show and bring you into the the venue ahead of other audience members. Rat will take you to an area that we have assigned for you and give you a little flag. Throughout the show you can raise the little flag and Rat will come and assist you. Ticket link in bio.
