1. We're here to share space, build community, and support each other.
2. Performers: respect the 5-minute time limit and be mindful of your timekeeper.
3. If you like something, make some noise! Snap your fingers, stomp your feet, clap, whatever feels right to you.
4. We encourage you to get to know your seat neighbors. Connect and build community.All Open Mic performers are invited to contribute up to 2 works each in our forthcoming anthology, OTown Speaks. More about this at the event.
