In Knoxville, Tennessee "Blue Laws" are dictated by the serving of alcohol. In venues in which adult beverages are available, the following rules must be followed:
Upon selection for performance, our Blue Law Coordinator will establish open lines of communication to discuss costuming questions and movement workarounds, if needed. The Blue Law Coordinator will also be present at all tech rehearsals to address any last minute concerns.
In the interim, please feel free to reference the resources below, including a compilation of infographics and gallery of past performances with compliant costuming. Check back often for new additions and ideas!
- Performers must wear pasties and an under-bra (or comparable covering) that obscures the area from the bottom of the pastie to the bottom of the breast. There are many creative ways to comply with these rules, including (but not limited to) decorative tape, cups covered in sequins or trims, or layers of fringe.
- Fuller coverage bottoms are also required, meaning G-strings and thongs may not be worn without a layer of legal coverage underneath. Legal coverage means the obstructions of the “vortex” (the space where private areas and butt cheeks meet) and crack. Again, creative treatments can be devised, and a great deal of flesh can be shown in the front (barring genitals) and sides.
- In addition to modified costuming, no actual or simulated pubic hair or genitalia, dildos, sex toys, or overtly sexual gestures are permitted.
