There are 12 slots available for our open mic performances. The list fills up quickly, so please plan accordingly! OPEN MIC RULES:<ol><li>5 MINUTES. As soon as your mouth opens, your 5 minutes have begun.</li><li>RESPECT THE SPACE. This is a safe space and will be treated as such. The open mic is a church for many of us, and it takes a lot of courage to share while fighting a war of nerves to share parts of our lives with others. We don’t know each other’s struggles, but we respect one another.</li><li>WHAT YOU WON’T DO. No homophobia. No transphobia. No disrespect against ANYONE’S sexuality or gender expression. No racism. No xenophobia. No misogyny. Straight to the point, no BS!</li><li>WATCH YOUR MOUTH. Yes, cursing is allowed, but only in the context of a piece!</li><li>BYE, FELICIA! Not following any of these rules will get you kicked out and banned from future open mics, so play nicely. We are all here for a reason. Let’s have fun, let’s enjoy this space and the art we are about to witness.</li></ol>
