Pursuant to the provisions of R.I. Gen Laws § 3-7-7.3, the Board of Licenses of the City of Providence, defined and submitted to the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation its definition of Entertainment.
“Entertainment: Includes any live performance, disc jockey, show, sporting event, or exhibition held indoors or outdoors to which members of the public are invited with or without charge. Live performance refers to any live production of music or sound by an individual, band, musician, dancing, of karaoke, or theatric performances.”
“Adult Entertainment: Any commercial establishment or business where any individual, employee, operator, or owner works or performs in the nude. Nudity means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area or buttocks with less than a fully opaque covering, the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple and below, or the showing of the covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state. Adult entertainment shall also be construed to mean actual or simulated acts of sexual activity by clothed or nude individuals and includes both ‘live’ exposure and film, video, or any type of reproduction of such human anatomy and sexual activity.”
