Queer Writers of Calgary is hosting their sixth queer open mic! Come listen to a bunch of local queer writers divulge their secrets and expose their souls in under eight minutes. Performance sign-up is on a first come first serve basis at the time of the event - members get early access to sign up via the community Discord server.
The evening is sure to provide a safe, supportive, relaxed, and fun environment for audience members and readers alike. Performances must be original and performed by the author(s) themselves.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS
Queer Writers of Calgary, now a subgroup of the Frolic Parade, was started by CJ Braxton in October 2023 out of their desire to write, share ideas, and build community. The group meets bi-weekly to work on individual writing projects, offer feedback, and chat about books. All members of the queer community are welcome with the expectation of warmth, respect, and kindness from each member.
The Frolic Parade is a queer adult community group that features three subgroups: Queer Writers of Calgary, Sun Seekers, and Pickled Spikers. Each group, respectively, focuses on all types of writing, spiritual realm discussions, and playing spikeball and pickleball. The Frolic Parade seeks to create and maintain a safe, engaging, and friendly third space for queer folks looking for niche community.
