No nudity!\n\n\n\nHere’s the cool thing: t here is no application process\, no auditions\, no signing up for a slot. You just show up and perform. You must bring any equipment you need and yo u’re free to set out your hat or guitar case or whatever and collect tip s no one is asking for a cut.\n\n\n\nPerformance times are Thursday July 1 7 @ 5-6pm and 6:30-7:45pm\; Friday July 18 @ 5-5:30pm\, 6:25-7:45pm and 8: 15-8:45pm\; and Saturday July 19 @ 5:15-6:15pm.
