Open Mics

Do it for the Mic.

All it takes is a stage and a microphone. Just like that, you've got a venue - and the effect is immediate. Even if you've spent the last six months stuck behind a desk, or a counter, or whatever it is, for the next fifteen minutes you're free. Maybe you've never stood up in front of anyone before (except in that embarrassing speech class) -

but this is different. It's an Open Mic. It's about you, and it's about being alive. If you've ever performed before, you know how these things can transform a person. We'd like you to get the chance to transform more often.

What do you do?

Sing. Dance. Juggle. Read a poem. Tell a story.
Come in costume. Come as you are.
Just come.

The point of Lunacy's Open Mic is to facilitate an intersection of talent, where the undiscovered genius of the everyday artist can shine across from the skill of local professionals. Whether you're a seasoned patron of Open Mics or a first-timer, we want you to discover the creative life that brims from this city. We want you to discover your own.

And while we're on the subject...

We anticipate the day we establish our fine arts center, The Mic, named in honor of Michael Lundy: grandfather, hooligan, and muse. Without his influence, Lunacy Stageworks may not have come to be. So, with all the gratitude and chagrin he deserves, we say it once more:

Do it for the Mic.
