Glass Walking
This act is not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Sally walks, jumps on, and rolls through broken glass that is sharper than the rent increase in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood– more penetrating to the flesh than Superman’s X-Ray vision.

Weather & Inclement Conditions

Alternate plans should be made for performances in the event of rain, storms, or other conditions that may be considered dangerous or otherwise unsuitable for outdoor performances.
Travel Considerations
Luggage
Glass walking acts can be transported in checked luggage. Due to the weight of the broken glass and other supplies related to the show, glass walking acts travel best in their own small suitcase.
