FAQs
- Is this a religious event?
No! This event is a bit tongue-in-cheek, and a bit of a reclamation of the significant cultural space the church has occupied throughout history. We explore some religious themes in this show, but with love.
- Is there parking?
There is a small carpark (paid) next to the Brisbane Powerhouse. There is street parking around New Farm, and multiple public transport routes.
- Is the venue accessible?
Yes, the venue is fully accessible.
