Playwright Open Mic

Open Mic for Playwrights
November 13, 2025
7:00 – 9:00 pm
Welcome to this special Open Mic Night for Playwrights where writers bring the writing, and the audience does the reading! We encourage dramatic writers of all experience levels to share their work in this low-pressure, welcoming, and exciting evening of scene readings.
How does it work?

• Playwrights bring scenes up to 5 pages with 2 – 3 characters.
• Anyone who attends may put their name in the “hat” to be drawn to read a role.
• Signup is on a first-come basis and begins at check-in.
• There are two sets of readings with 8 playwrights per set for a total of 16 scenes.
• There is a brief intermission, approximately 15 minutes, between the two groupings of readers.
• Playwrights will introduce their scenes and read their own stage directions.
• We’ll draw names from the “hat” to read the roles.
• After each scene, there will be a raucous applause for both playwrights and readers.

But don’t worry, you don’t have to read! Guests and audience members are encouraged to sit back and enjoy the show.
