OUR COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS
To help nurture a space of respect, validation, and welcoming:
1. We're here to share space, build community, and support each other.
2. Performers: respect the 5-minute time limit and be mindful of your timekeeper.
3. If you like something, make some noise! Snap your fingers, stomp your feet, clap, whatever feels right to you.
4. We encourage you to get to know your seat neighbors. Connect and build community.
