*Sponsor Tickets: Gay City relies on the generosity of our patrons and supporters to help bring about programs like Gay City Arts. Spending a little more on your ticket will help keep our program running and our ticket prices low.
*Radical Hospitality Tickets are our FREE ticket program. Each night of this show, a number of free tickets are available for reservation. Provided as an homage to a concept first pioneered by Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis, meant to “erase economic barriers in pursuit of building a truly inclusive” audience.
**Ally Tickets mean you're providing an opportunity for someone who can't afford the ticket price to attend the show (and making sure LGBTQ Sick and Disabled People get paid for their art!).
