10 July: The Intersectionality of Audiences for Queer Theatre
Our next Over to You is a 96 Festival special! As part of our annual celebration of queerness and theatre we’ll be occupying the Café Bar to explore the intersectionality of audiences of queer theatre, the meaning of inclusivity and how we may achieve it.
From drag brunches to the biggest stages, join our panellists in discussion of what Queer means to each of us, how Queer theatre serves its variety of audiences, and how to reach true inclusivity.
