Story & Verse: A Storytelling, Poetic, and Spoken Word Open Mic

EVERY MONTH.

ALL AGES.

ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS.

ALL BACKGROUNDS.

Story & Verse provides a warm and welcoming spotlight for both emerging and established artists in our Solley Theater, an intimate space in the heart of Downtown Princeton.

Performers are invited to present a piece - or multiple pieces - for a total of five minutes in length. This month's theme is Turn Up the Heat.

JOIN US AS A PERFORMER:

• Prepare a story, poem, or spoken word piece up to 5 minutes in length. Time limit will be enforced.
• Arrive by 6:45pm to add your name to the hat. No previous experience or pre-registration necessary. Your piece will be recorded and uploaded to the Arts Council’s YouTube channel. If you do not want to be included in the video, just let our host know.

JOIN US IN THE AUDIENCE:

• Take the elevator or stairs to the Solley Theater, located on the top floor of our Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.
• Optional: participate from your seat with a Micro Story. Read the printed prompt based on the evening’s theme and respond with a super concise story (just a line or two!) that answers the question. Brass Rabbit will read your story at the mic, as time allows.
• Find a seat and enjoy the performances. We kick off shortly after 7pm.
