Entry instructions
Little Andromeda Theatre You enter on the first floor. The lifts drop you into the courtyard behind the theatre. You’ll see Little Fiddle and to the right are some stairs heading to the theatre, and to the left is a laneway going to a lobby with an elevator that takes you up to the theatre. Ron Ball Studio You can enter the Ron Ball Studio via the front entrance of the Town Hall on Kilmore Street, ride the elevator to the second floor and mooch round past the Victoria Room. You can also enter from the river side: Colombo dock entrance on Colombo Street. The lift takes you right up to the Ron Ball. Flux Bar TBC
After entry instructions
Little Andromeda Theatre The main doors to the theatre go straight onto the stage, and the raked seating goes back from that. Ron Ball Studio The studio is one level: we will be setting up seats in the round and our FOH team will help you with an appropriate seat. Flux TBC
Toilet location
Little Andromeda Theatre There’s a door going into the standard toilets – still go through there but instead of turning left or straight, head to the right, down the corridor, into the office building lobby and you’ll find a really good accessible toilet. The corridor doors are always pinned open before, during and after shows so just follow your nose. Ron Ball Studio All toilets are to be found on the first floor of the Town Hall. Flux Bar TBC
Freedom to roam
Any and every show at Tiny Fest is available to be entered and exited at will: no lockouts and you are permitted to leave at anytime. Please let our FOH staff know if you think you would like to come and go.
