TELL! May More! | Open Mic & Potluck

After an exhilarating World Theatre Day, we’re back for another edition of TELL! Join us for a chill relaxing evening as we gather for a community potluck. This is also the space to share with the wider community just about anything you feel like sharing.

Bring your talents, recipes, stories and calls to action to the community. Regardless of whether it's a finished work or a work-in-progress, this is your space to experiment and play. We love to see it.

TELL! is MT Space's coffeehouse open-mic style event offering the community an artistic platform to share their works in a casual setting. Whether it’s performances, stories, poetry, or art, we welcome all forms of expression.

We know that art and food bring people together like nothing else. Join us for a potluck! Bring a dish* to share if you can. We'll take care of the plates, napkins and drinks (juice boxes and water). To cut down on waste, please bring your own reusable cups and bottles!

*Please include an ingredients list for any dishes you bring.

Families with small children are also welcomed.

Thinking of performing?* Here's what you need to know:
TELL! is a platform that offers you time and space to share something that you've created, or something you've been working on, like:

• an idea

• a script

• story

• song

• something else!

This event is low/no tech. Bring anything you may need for your performance, including amps for instruments. Use this as an opportunity to get feedback from an engaged audience or simply show us what you've got!

*If you plan on performing, please choose the presenting ticket option when registering.
