EVERY MONTH.

ALL AGES.

ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS.

ALL BACKGROUNDS.


Story & Verse provides a warm and welcoming spotlight for both emerging and established artists in our Solley Theater, an intimate space in the heart of Downtown Princeton.

Performers are invited to present any piece - up to 5 minutes in length - for this month's Open Theme Night!


JOIN US AS A PERFORMER:

  • Prepare a story, poem, or spoken word piece up to 5 minutes in length.
  • Arrive by 6:45pm to add your name to the hat. No previous experience or pre-registration necessary. Your piece will be recorded and uploaded to the Arts Council’s YouTube channel.

JOIN US IN THE AUDIENCE:

  • Take the elevator or stairs to the Solley Theater, located on the top floor of our Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.
  • Optional: participate from your seat with a Micro Story. Read the printed prompt based on the evening’s theme and respond with a super concise story (just a line or two!) that answers the question. Brass Rabbit will read your story at the mic, as time allows.
  • Find a seat and enjoy the performances. We kick off shortly after 7pm.
