No more than six acts will be allowed in the performance auditorium at a time and each act may have no more than two guests. There will be a maximum of 18 audience chairs set up in six groups (3 chairs each) spaced six feet apart. There will be no more than 9 acts, with their guests, allowed inside of the entire building at any one time.

Each performer will be provided with a disposable microphone cover (courtesy of Karen Bradshaw) and microphones will be sanitized between each performance. Everyone entering the building must undergo a non-contact temperature check and agree to wear a mask at all times, except while performing.

Weather permitting we will open the side porch doors to allow for greater airflow and to give those outside the opportunity to enjoy the performances and to cheer on the competitors. There are a few picnic tables around the facility and plenty of shade from the oak trees. There will be no concessions but feel free to bring your own snacks, drinks and folding chairs.
