Hazards

The theatres can become cool, while outside can be quite warm. We recommend bringing a light jacket or jumper to help with temperature regulation. Drinks are predominantly tea and coffee from an all-day barista or filling up your own water bottle (we ask you to bring from home for sustainability) using the ERPAC water bubblers. If using water bubblers is challenging, we recommend bringing extra water from home, or simply asking one of our volunteers for assistance. We're here to help!
