The Back Porch Show is presented on select evenings during the summer (2018 dates not yet set). Anywhere from one to six acts are selected to make up a performance.
Our focus is on the talent of the artist. Therefore, please note it is our intention to showcase and celebrate the gifts and talent of the artist in an intimate performance setting without (or with minimal) technical support. The outdoor stage is a 15’ x 8’ area with a 14’ x 20’ cabaret style audience with modest illumination.
Submissions are open to all performance driven forms including but not limited to: plays, music, magic, dance, circus, spoken word, song, poetry, rap, clown, combat, puppetry, performance art, burlesque, vaudeville, and comedy.
All acts must be more than five (5) and less than fifteen (15) minutes.
The use of illegal firearms, permanent paint, open flame, and nudity is prohibited.
All acts receive performance stipends.
