OPEN MIC RULES:
- 5 MINUTES. As soon as your mouth opens, your 5 minutes have begun.
- 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.
- 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!
- WATCH YOUR MOUTH. Yes, cursing is allowed, but only in the context of a piece!
- 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.
