What makes The Glitterbox Theater special
Founded in 2016, the Glitterbox sees itself as a ‘queer-normative’ theatre where queer stories are the norm. The programme keeps switching between theatre, drag, burlesque and parties. According to Out x Out, weekend shows are often sold out.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for queer theatre and drag away from the bars
- like small stages
Not ideal if you …
- want to come spontaneously without a ticket
