About this event
Uncomfortable sharing your work at readings? Performing your work is the most direct way for writers and poets to communicate, develop their profile and share their work and unique voice, and is often the most overlooked.
Our open mic has been here to provide an opportunity for our Writers to develop performance skills through practice. Now, we’re upping the game.
