STORYTELLING OPEN MIC
Wednesday, Oct. 26
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
$5 at the door

All of us have stories and many of us enjoy sharing them, while others enjoy listening. Sometimes we struggle with shyness or even feeling like nobody wants to hear our story. Others may have stories they want to share beyond their circle of friends and family, but don’t know where. Our Storytelling Open Mic at idiomART is the perfect venue for you!

All levels and ages are welcome. All storytellers and listeners welcome.
