About this Event
Fruit Salad is Dorothy's monthly queer open mic night! Hosted by Rainn, this open mic night gives performers the chance to share their work in front of our supportive & gorgeous group of attendees before we hand it over to our feature performers of the night.
Our open mic sign up is based on a lottery system! Attendees will get a link immediately after purchasing a ticket to sign up for the open mic until Friday May 10th. Five open mic slots are reserved for BIPOC performers and the other five slots are open for all submissions.
Our open mic list will be announced via our Instagram @fruitsaladchicago and open mic performers will be contacted via email by Rainn.
After our open mic for the evening, we welcome our feature for the month - K.P.!
Kailah Peters (K.P.) describes her writing as confessions her soul makes to her mind. As a co-founder of They Call Us literary magazine, she focuses her efforts on uplifting the voices of minorities and challenging systems of oppression. K.P. is also a co-producer of the giggle hour, a monthly comedic poetry show hosted at the Lincoln Lodge. Her work questions identity, human connection, and social order. You can find her writing in Rigorus Magazine, Poet Lore, or on www.KPPeters.Weebly.Com.
Entry is $15 and proceeds are shared with the performers, the production team, our home base Dorothy and our giveback organization for this month chosen by K.P.
This event is mask required for guests and open mic performers. Our feature performer has the option to be masked or maskless during their performance. All guests are encouraged to test themselves 24-48 hours prior to the event.
As often as we are able, we will have air purifiers on site for additional protection.
