About this Event

The Community Stage is our creative take on an open mic—music, poetry, storytelling & more in a welcoming space. Formerly called Monthly Open Mic, it’s the same inspiring monthly gathering with a fresh name. Perform or just enjoy the show—everyone’s part of the community.



More Info

Welcome to The Community Stage—our creative take on an open mic! Each month, musicians, poets, storytellers, and all kinds of artists gather to share their voices in a warm, welcoming space. Whether you’re stepping up to the mic or cheering from the audience, you’ll be part of an evening filled with creativity, connection, and surprise.

If you’ve joined us before, you’ll recognize the same spirit and flow from our long-running Open Mic Nights—just under a new name that reflects what it’s really about: community.

Every month, expect:
🎤 Open mic slots (4–6 min each) — sign up at the door, order chosen at random.
🌟 A featured artist spotlight — showcasing local talent in a longer set.
🎨 A monthly theme — inspiration for performers and a fresh twist for every gathering.



🎤 For Performers
  • Sign up at the door for a 4–6 minute slot (or step into the featured artist spotlight).
  • We’ll draw names at random to keep things spontaneous and fun.
  • Every month brings a new theme—bring your creativity and try something new!



🙌 For the Audience

Not performing? No problem! Come enjoy an evening of vibrant performances, meet local artists, and be surprised by the variety of creativity in our community. Everyone’s welcome, whether you’re curious, creative, or just love live art.



📅 When

Every First Friday of the month (with occasional exceptions).



🎟️ Tickets

Advance tickets are recommended—space is limited, and everyone (performers and audience alike) needs a ticket.
