Provide artists with workshop space and Mentor feedback. 600 people will attend the shows in total to see the artists perform. Live music by two different local music groups will play at The Full Moon Puppet Show. Performer applications will have optional questions that ask for age, if they identify as LGBTQ and/or are POCI.
