Proof of vaccination or a 72 hour negative COVID test will be required for entry. 2. ALL PATRONS must wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. 3. This is a FREE EVENT, and as such a cap of 20 patrons has been placed upon the proceedings. This will be the first time that the Library Studio will have hosted any type of in-person audience. Ultimately, the goal is to get a read on the viability of making the Library Studio a regular venue going forward. 4. If you attend this event, you will be part of a LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE. As such, because the proceedings are being filmed and streamed out for the world to see, it is IMPERATIVE that you follow etiquette as you would at a club such as the Village Vanguard, the Side Door Jazz Club, or the like thereof. There will be breaks in-between sets, so that patrons can use the restroom, stretch, and mingle. 5. The Library Studio is located at 134 Broad Street in downtown Middletown, Connecticut. Patrons MUST park in the parking lot across from the Russell Library, which is known as the Broad Street Parking Lot. DO NOT PARK IN SPOTS THAT ARE MARKED FOR "PEDAL POWER". Parking in this lot is free of charge on Sundays, so you do not need to feed the meter. 6. Food and drink WILL NOT be sold at this event.
