Absolutely not! Each person should feel free to attend PuSh performances in whatever clothing feels appropriate to them.

Come as you are.

Please contact PuSh Festival Audience Services to confirm venue accessibility and to reserve seats. If you are booking shows on your PuSh Pass online, please indicate any specific accessibility needs in the “Notes or Requests for PuSh Audience Services” field at check-out.
