Open Mic Guidelines

• Tickets purchased online: $10
• Tickets purchased through the Box Office: $15
• A QR code will be provided upon arrival to facilitate online ticket purchases.
• Performers: FREE - Performer registration begins at 7 PM and must be in-person. Sign up to perform upon arrival (must sign up by 9 PM).
• Signing up at 7:00 PM adds your name to the performer pool but does not guarantee stage time. Rather than a first-come, first-served approach, the host determines the order based on multiple factors to ensure a well-balanced show. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
• Performers are encouraged to sign up from their personal device or phone using a QR code provided that evening.
• We feature up to 24 performers per night.
• Each performer has a maximum of 3-5 minutes on stage.
• Be mindful of the stoplight cue. If you go over your time, your mic will be cut off and the host will take the stage.
• The host reserves the right to stop any performance that uses hate speech.
• Audience members may be asked to leave the event if the host or house manager deem it necessary.
• Equipment on stage is not to be moved. The host will adjust the microphone as needed.
