WHAT IS NO SHAME THEATER?

GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! It’s time for No Shame Theater DSM! It’s a weird sort of open mic / talent show where anything can happen. You can sign up before the show and perform or you can come and watch the talent and chaos.

There are only 3 rules to No Shame. Your performances must be original, you must not exceed 5 minutes, and you must not break anything - not yourself, not the space, not the audience, not the law.

No Shame Theater was designed with variety acts in mind. When you attend a No Shame Theater show you may see comedy, poetry, circus acts, dancing, magic, story-telling, performance art, and more!

So sit back, relax, tip your bartenders, and enjoy the show!
