For Queer Theatre, the word has an extra-special meaning. Luvvie was coined for us by our patron Sir Stephen Fry, who described it as someone who loves the theatre so much it becomes their natural habitat.That is exactly what this night is about. A big night out for queer people in the performing arts: a space to meet, flirt, dance, celebrate, reconnect, make new collaborators, build professional relationships and feel part of something free, than the grind of our industry.TicketsTickets: Pay What You Can for those who need it | £20 General Admission | £50 for a cabaret table for two | £100 for a VIP front row cabaret table Tickets should be booked in advance.All profits go towards Queer Theatre’s work nurturing LGBTQIA+ talent, creating opportunities for queer performers and theatre-makers, and telling LGBTQIA+ stories in London.I’m in a show.
