Lil' Pieces

Clowns! Characters! Have a new bit to show off? Need to workshop an existing bit into a larger piece so it can eventually blossom an act or even a full solo show?
LIL’ PIECES is for performers who are ready to take their work to the next level and engage a real audience in the context of a curated show.
Somewhere in that messy middle between discovering a new bit and putting up a full-ass show, there are a million little pieces of clown. Your hosts have long dreamt of creating a space for those beautiful, weird lil' pieces, and we're finally doing it.
(Mega poetic, right? Eat glass, Chat GPT.)
WHO IS THIS MIC FOR?
All characters, clowns and clown-curious folks are welcomed to this mic! For example: tentative improvisers who constantly ask their clown friends “WTF IS clown?!?” Assuming they’re ready to find out, totally welcomed to the stage! Character performers who wanna clown it up in character and interact with the audience — definitely welcomed.
Less welcomed: Gross stuff. As in, please keep all bodily fluids inside your body. And leave messy materials (e.g., food, glue, acrylic paint) in your car/backpack/anywhere that isn’t the Lyric stage. Seriously, we promised the theater.
HOW DO I GET STAGE TIME?
If you’d like to workshop a lil’ bit, follow us on IG (@lilpiecesmic) and look out for our calls for submissions.
If you have a longer piece (10, 15, 20 mins) you’d like to showcase in a future show, we'd love to feature you! Please email the hosts at [email protected] OR reach out to us on Instagram @lilpiecesmic, where we’ll probably also tell you to email us anyway. But honestly, we love a DM so DO IT!
