No reservations are necessary — general admission, first come, first served.

The performance on Friday, May 11, coincides with Manifest, Columbia College’s annual Urban Arts Festival. The all-day free event covers Columbia College’s whole South Loop campus, featuring live performances, gallery exhibitions, readings, fashion shows, and more — all created, performed, and curated by students.
