About this Event
This month, we're fundraising for the Trans Up Front IL. The night opens with FIVE featured performances, followed by an all-genres open mic where anything goes. Poets, musicians, comedians, experimental playwrights, performance artists, clowns, mimes, puppeteers-- everyone is welcome! We’ll have a house guitar (BYO instruments if you can), two amps, and a mic. Backing tracks are welcome. Chaos is encouraged.
This month, our performances include:
- Shadow Puppetry
- Experimental Movement/Dance
- Experimental Instrumentation with Mandolin & Brass Instruments
- Comedy
- Poetry
Hosted by Millstone, a queer, half-Black art organizer and micro press that publishes the bi-annual print journal (Millstone). Follow us at @millstone.mag for event updates and submissions calls.
