Quick, Gather round, queers! Come one, come all July 27th, the world's greatest spectacular is back in town: it’s Continental Circus: Pride & Puppetry!
We’ve gathered a magnificent troupe of 17 dazzling drag sensations and 6 of the most daringly delectable puppets handmade from the questionable mind and delicate hands of Continental Breakfast.
The theme of the show is queer realization as we journey through each performers path to self. Expect tales of heartbreak, triumph and most of all, PRIDE!
Book the night off and ready your sitters of all sorts, because the forecast is puppets but this time, not for kids!
he show contains heavy subject matter and could potentially be a trigger for traumatic experience. Specifically this contains descriptions of medical/physical/metaphysical and psychological trauma, death, strobing lights, nudity, religious themes. Please reach out to Continental Breakfast or Vee Pho if you have any concerns or need help processing the show.

SAFER SPACES POLICY:
We have a zero tolerance policy for oppressive behaviour in all its forms -- including but not limited to cultural appropriation, misogyny, transphobia, racism, fatphobia, and ableism.
*We have a house policy against culturally appropriative hairstyles, which is currently in Beta. We are working with community members and professional equity consultants to develop this policy further. In the meantime we ask that guests with hairstyles that could be interpreted as appropriative reach out to us (manupdrag@gmail.com) to check in before buying tickets/attending our events. Please be aware that any guest in attendance may be approached by a buddy or event manager to inform them of our policy.*

BUDDY SYSTEM:
The Buddy System is a grassroots effort to combat rape culture and enhance the safety of our queer events. CONSENT IS MANDATORY! Buddies will be wearing **NEON T-SHIRTS**. Our Buddies are NARCAN trained, and are carrying sealed water bottles, condoms, lube, granola bars, tampons, and more. They will run interference if someone is receiving unwanted attention, can help folks in need find a way home, and generally serve as go-to support people should any problems arise.

ACCESSIBILITY INFO:
Entrance ramp is located on the north side of the warehouse parking lot, and is 38in wide with a handrail to the left 41in high. Accessible door has a clearance of 45in. Inside entrance is 81in wide. Due to a structural inability to renovate this venue that is out of our control, we are sadly unable to provide an accessible washroom stall, so instead we have an accessible portable onsite. Washrooms are all genders. If you need more information about venue accessibility, please contact Ryn at ryn@eastsidestudio.ca.

MORE ABOUT PAY WHAT YOU CAN / COMMUNITY PRICING:
No one will be turned away for lack of funds! Please don’t hesitate to inform door staff if you will be paying a sliding scale rate- there is no need to explain your financial situation. It will be granted upon request, no questions asked.
We ask that folks bear in mind the disproportionate financial challenges facing BIPOC folks, our trans siblings, and those living with disabilities and other barriers to employment, before they access PWYC.
