Did you frantically type a few sentences into your notes app on your commute?
Have a sonnet you’ve been toiling over for months?
The Gray Area open mic is for you.
This is an open mic series where poets and those flirting with poetry can write, perform, and exist in the gray area.
This is a judgment-free, hierarchy-free, artistic space.
Performer sign-ups are welcome in advance of the show (reach out to @brittany.tori or @mommielanie on Instagram for more details!) and throughout the event. This event is free and open to the public, and donations will be accepted and appreciated. We also encourage folks to eat/drink at BLB pre- and post- show!
