The guide

Where exactly

West on King St towards 403. Theatre is on right hand side between John and Hughson St. Note: All roads are one-way. Show-world has large Purple Neon sign out front. Cross street: John St.

Cruisiest spot: Basement level is all Gay theatres and individual booths. Most of the cruising goes on down here.

When to go

24 hrs. Best times: Lunchtime 11am - 1pm. Evenings (nights) 9pm - 1am

Etiquette

Action is quick for strokers. Sit in theatre and pull out , you'll get noticed. But be respectful, ask permission first. Group activity can be common if one guy gets the "balls" rolling.

Safety

Being downtown you can get the occasional drunk guy or prostitute wander in. There are back entrances behind some of the theatres screens were management enters to check theatres. Make sure you push through the turnstyle fully after depositing $4.00 otherwise the rotation will lock-out and you will lose your money.

Anyone good who comes in is hit on by the staff!!! That srtinkin Indian who works there weekend evenings - the younger skinny one - locks up the office goes in the big btheatresc and sits in the seat next to him. If you try to get the guy he wants he will say you are a problem or there is complaint and you have to leave. Get rid of this filthy stinkin staff person.
