Join us for a fun evening of open mic poetry! We invite you to bring your own works and perform them in front of a supportive crowd. There's no better place to find your voice and share it with the world! 

The sign-up list opens at 6:30 pm in the upstairs cafe and the mic opens at 7:00pm.

• Seating is first come, first served! 
• Each open mic slot gets you about three minutes of stage time.
• No need to memorize your work - just be comfortable and have fun!
• If you read someone else’s work, give credit where due. 
• Above all, show kindness to all. No hate speech, slurs, or sexually explicit language.
