About this Event

Open Mic, Open Stage with a live band of Pittsburgh's most talented musicians

Music, Art, and Community, Monthly Fridays at Community Forge

Join Pittsburgh-based writer, actor, and storyteller Ezra Smith as he hosts our October Open Mic—this time with a spooky-season twist. As always, the incomparable Howie Alexander and his incredible band will back up singers, songwriters, and poets. But for this month, we’re also inviting local storytellers to step up and share true tales inspired by the theme Fear/Fright//Fight.

Want to be a featured storyteller? Send a short synopsis of your tale to [email protected], and she’ll help you take the spotlight. Not sure about your writing skills but still eager to share? Join us at StoryForge, our new monthly story-writing workshop, where we’ll help you shape your words into something unforgettable.
