Improv storytelling open mic next Wednesday

Don’t forget to mark your calendars and save the date for our next Improv Storytelling Open Mic! 

Here you can listen to others tell stories and you can even tell one yourself if you feel so inclined! 

Much like a musical open mic, you just write your name on the list and we call you up in order. It’s as simple as that. 

You can tell any story you want. It can be true, it can be fiction, it can be about yourself or someone else. There are no rules about content, we just ask that you don’t tell a story that is offensive, lewd, racist or that spreads hate. We also ask that you keep your story to 10 minutes so others have time to tell theirs as well.
