No Shame Theatre

EVERY FIRST FRIDAY STARTING SEPTEMBER 6, 2024.

NO SHAME THEATRE - Like an Open Mic…but Theatre!

Sign ups start at 10 PM and we will only take the first 15 sign-ups.

A project started in 1986 at the University of Iowa by Todd Ristau and Stan Ruth, No Shame Theatre is a variety show of sorts.

Do you have a short play? A stand-up routine? A monologue? A song? A performance art piece? A poem? A dance routine?

If it’s theatrical, we want to see it!

Only Three Rules:

  1. It must be original.

  2. No breaking anything, including yourself and the law.

  3. No more than 5 minutes.

No Shame is open to anyone of any age, but it does take place at 11 PM and there are very few restrictions on subject and language (no slurs, give trigger warnings as needed).

We are serious about the 5 minute time limit, which includes set-up. No kidding, we give you one minute of warning and then shut the lights off.

No Shame is a place to experiment with theatre in a low stakes environment — invite your friends, invite your enemies, thrive in the weird! This is No Shame.

Any questions can be sent via private message or to Therovingperegrine@gmail.com.

Host by Christopher Leatherman.
