PART ONE: THE BONES
What the heck is No Shame?     6
It's a place where people can take risks
It's a theatre in a truck (or bar, or courtyard, or even a theatre)
It's a  convoy of theatres parked all over the world
How did the first one start?     7
First there was this thing called Midnight Madness
Then there was this truck with an audience around it
How do you do it?                   10
The rules
The basic structure is simple:
  Show up on Friday (or whatever night you do it)
  Take the first 15 scripts that arrive
  Read the order
  Do the pieces
  Clean up afterwards
