Description from the publisher

Open Mic for Playwrights November 12, 2026 7:00 – 9:00 pm Welcome to this special Open Mic Night for Playwrights where writers bring the writing, and the audience does the reading! We encourage dramatic writers of all experience levels to share their work in this low-pressure, welcoming, and exciting evening of scene readings. How does it work? Playwrights bring scenes up to 5 pages with 2 – 3 characters. Bring printed copies for your readers, including if you need someone to read stage directions. Anyone who attends may put their name on the signup sheet at the front desk starting at 6 pm to be randomly selected to read a role. Signup is on a first-come basis and begins at check-in. There are two sets of readings with 8 playwrights per set for a total of 16 scenes. There is a brief intermission, approximately 15 minutes, between the two groupings of readers. Playwrights will introduce their scenes and read their own stage directions. Names will be randomly selected with our "wheel of fate" to read the roles. After each scene, there will be a raucous applause for both playwrights and readers. But don’t worry, you don’t have to read! Guests and audience members are encouraged to sit back and enjoy the show. Wanna attend? Doors open an hour before showtime (7:00 pm show, doors open at 6:00 pm). Sign-up for scenes is on a first-come basis and begins at check-in. Audience may signup to be a reader when they check-in. Free admission to this event is made possible with support from 4Culture.
