Daily Performances: 9-11am and 5-7pm at the newspaper kiosk at Market Street @ Montgomery & Post Streets (Market btw 2nd and 3rd Streets) in San Francisco.
In addition to morning and evening street performances, the public is invited to participate in workshops led by Laser, Crabtree and Wiener, in which participants will discuss and recreate headline stories and images at Southern Exposure, August 7 – 11, 2013, 1 – 3 pm.
