Open Mic Cabaret At The Studio

At The Open Mic at The Studio the focus is the stage! Sign-ups get 6 minutes to try anything in one of the most supportive rooms in theatre land. Whether it’s a performance art piece, comedy, music, storytelling, dance, or something entirely off the top of your head, you'll find a home in the attentive welcoming community. How do I sign up? You can sign up to perform when you arrive! Everyone gets a chance to perform. We draw names from a hat to determine the order of performers. How much time will I have to perform? Sets are 6 minutes long and a mic host will give you a light when you are close to the end of your time. What kind of performers do you accept? All kinds! Music, comedy, storytelling, clowning, magic, dance. As long as you don’t make a mess or break fire codes, your 6 minutes are your 6 minutes. How long is it? The mic continues until everyone who wants to perform has a chance. No one is required to remain at the mic until the end, of course, but we encourage you to stay and cheer on your community! What time does it start? We open the doors at 7pm, draw names from a hat at 7:30, and kick off after that. Can I come late? You sure can! Your name will be added to the end of the list if you’d like to perform. Do I have to perform? Nope, you are more than welcome to watch without performing. This is not a Fight Club situation. Can I sign up in advance? You must buy a ticket in advance to reserve your seat, but we only take performer names at the door. Do I need to bring my own equipment? We have microphones, a keyboard, a guitar, and a great speaker system you can use. If you have any questions about specific equipment, reach out to [email protected]. We have a professional accompanist at hand who will sightread your sheet music. Can I perform to a track? Yes! Just bring a flash drive with your track on it or email it to us on the night!
