HOW IT WORKS
- There are 3 open mic slots per show. Open mic participants are given 8 minutes (1300 words) in which to tell a true story. If more than 3 storytellers sign up we draw names for the slots.
- There are 2 featured performers for each show, who provide producers with drafts of their stories and are paid for their work. Want to be featured? Come see the show, and then email a true story (1600 words max) to [email protected] for consideration.
- The audience votes for their favorite story and the winner receives a coveted microphone trophy! The open mic performer with the most votes is invited back to be a featured (and paid) performer!
- $15 tickets before hand ($20 at the door) helps us to PAY our featured performers! We pride ourselves on being one of the best-paying shows for writers Cleveland!
- We are a non-profit and a proud fiscal sponsee of nonprofit The Reading Room CLE.
