Most GLAS events take place in either the Aula at the Collège des Coudriers (Avenue de Joli-Mont 15), just across the street from the Balexert shopping mall, or the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Geneva close to Place du Bourg-de-Four (20 Rue Verdaine, 1204 Geneva). See the maps below.

Tickets can be paid for and picked up from 30 minutes before the performance begins. Drinks, sandwiches and snacks are available in the lobby before the performance and also during the interval (for shows that include one). The famous GLAS raffle is an integral part of the evening’s entertainment  tickets are sold before the show and during the interval.
