The country's only recurring open mic dedicated to speculative fiction returns to Strike Theater Tue, March 17, 8 pm, for its FINAL show of the season! The evening's (optional) theme is "Everything Goes." Open-mic sign-up starts at 7:20 pm. If selected, performers have up to 7 minutes of stage time. Anything goes as long as it's sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural horror, or anything else speculative fiction. First-time performers are guaranteed stage time.
Performers can interpret the theme any way they like, or not at all, since writing to theme is optional.
For March's Sentence Challenge, the performer who can most seamlessly or creatively fit the following line into their performance, as determined by the audience, will win a prize: "It's all expectations down here." Like the theme, this challenge is optional.
Beer and snacks are available. There is free parking out back and free street parking out front.
This is not just a storytelling open mic. You can bring songs, dance routines, comedy sets, etc. As long as it falls within the "speculative fiction" genres and sticks to the time limit, it's game. If you're not a performer, but know someone who might be interested in signing up, or someone who just enjoys speculative fiction, please spread the word!
Special guest performers for the season finale will be Abra Staffin-Wiebe, Laura Packer, and Pat Harrigan. The show will be hosted by Ben San Del.
