Come share some poetry, spoken word, music, or just sit back and enjoy the performers that bless the stage. This is a great space to meet local artists, performers, and practice your own skills.
We have multiple mics and we’re ready to plug in any instrument you might bring with you.
Every month we have a featured performer announced the day of the event. All ages welcome, and all skill levels invited. We’re here to build, develop, and support one another’s creativity.
This event is hosted by Joliet’s inaugural poet laureate Uxmar Torres.
$10 recommended donation (or pay what you can)
Light refreshments are available for purchase.
All performers get a free custom notebook!
