Join New York Theatre Workshop and Poetic Theater Productions for a free community Virtual Open Mic Night on Thursday, August 27 at 7:00pm EST.
The evening’s theme: SEEKING SAFETY IN UNCERTAINTY
In tumultuous times such as these, we all look for ways to feel grounded and secure. Taking the time to create your own space is more important now than ever, whether that be gathering with communities, personal reflection and introspection, or taking action toward creating a better world. How do we take the times to care for ourselves and those we love? Where do we find safety and hope?
Original music, songs, poetry, spoken word, and story-telling! All languages welcome!
