Curbside Theater – Long live live art

Is this low risk for cornonavirus transmission? It’s an outdoor performance with ample space for social distancing. All SB Dance personnel are vaccinated.
How does hosting work? Most organize some kind of socializing– from a public block party to a special event– and cap off the evening with a Curbside performance at dusk.
Is this okay for kids? Sure. You might think of it like going to a nice restaurant: some youths enjoy it; others just want a kids menu. Please don’t make a reservation for a children’s party.
What’s a good block party location? The simplest and often best spot is one where we can park the stage and tow vehicle on reasonably level ground, with lots of room for the audience to spread out, no obstructions like tree branches, and fairly quiet. Curbsides, driveways, and parking lots are all appropriate. In some cases, we can remove the stage from the trailer and set it up on a custom platform in a flat spot.
What’s the best time? Around dusk so our stage lighting can elevate the experience.
What time is dusk? In Salt Lake, it’s approximately 9:15pm on the summer solstice. By late September, it’s closer to 7:30pm. If the location is shaded by mountains, trees, or buildings, the light is good sooner.
What happens when I make a reservation? We’ll contact you to work through the details.
Is it always the same show? There are almost a dozen pieces. The exact program depends on our schedule. Just hope you don’t get Grandma Clampett 🙂
