About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

This is Sunday Jump’s 13th season! This year's theme is "Time Check." Living for the day is a call to be present. We define the meaning of who we are by seizing the gift of today. Opportunities come and go, and sometimes pass by without us acting on it. While tomorrow is not promised, this moment is yours to make.

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES:

(1) Express, not impress and (2) Free speech, not hate speech. It's not about the snaps and claps. It's about sharing the love of your art. It's not about putting people down. It's about uplifting our communities.

OPEN MIC:

Open mic-ers have 4 minutes MAX. Guaranteed 9 performers will be chosen through lottery, with the rest on on-call. No repeat performers on the same day. Order is randomized. For on-call, priority is given to first timers and open mic-ers have 3 minutes MAX or only one piece, whichever comes first.
