SCHEDULE
Doors open 7:30pm so you can explore the museum before the show or grab a drink.
Show begins 8:00pm.

This is an outdoor show. Come prepared, no matter the temperature. You're welcome to move around or head inside throughout the show.

Warning: This is a real burlesque show, with professional burlesque dancers. Anyone is welcome, but please note there will be sexually explicit performance, nudity, and sexually explicit language.

ACCESSIBILITY & SAFETY
The main entrance and indoor museum are entirely flat, but there are 4 steps up and 4 steps down to the backyard. The backyard is uneven with some platforms, but a paved area near the entrance is available with a view of the stage. Email jacob@cityreliquary.org with any questions or needs, and we'll happy to figure out if and how we can accommodate.

Masks are required indoors for all. Masks are optional outdoors. Email jacob@cityreliquary.org with any questions or concerns.

WHAT IS THE CITY RELIQUARY?
Reliquaries typically house the ostensible bones of dead saints. We’re a museum that houses the bones of New York City. From seltzer bottles to schist cores, roller skates from racially integrated rinks, to a burnt out lightbulb from the Statue of Liberty's torch.

WHY MEMBERSHIP?
Sustaining monthly memberships help us predict our finances, and survive through and beyond this pandemic. We can plan much better around reliable “subscriptions” than the whims of admissions & ticket sales. This show, like all our events, is free for members. Join at cityreliquary.org/join.

WHAT ELSE?
Please come prepared to tip the performers via cash, Venmo, or Cash App. Drinks are available via cash or Venmo.
