RAW Storytelling Open Mic

  • 1060 Union Ave Kansas City, MO 64101 (map)

An open-minded open-mic that's all about your stories!

Proof of vaccination is required for all events at The Black Box.

Event starts at 6:00, doors open at 5:30.

DATES: March 29, April 25, May 23

----------------------------

We invite you to the stage, hands shaking, heart pounding to tell a story. You can tell it or read it.

This is for everyone from the one who scribbles in a 99 cent notebook and thinks it's probably crap (those are the best ones) to seasoned storytellers using it for a practice.

This night is for ALL folks.

What kind of stories? Yours.

THIS IS A FREE EVENT. RSVP via the ticket link.

Please bring proof of vaccination with ID to door.

---------------------------

How long do we get?

You have seven minutes to tell. A bell will ding at 6 1/2 minutes. You will be gently ushered off the stage at 7 1/2 minutes. �

Can my kids come? Does my story have to be "adult"?

This is a 21+ event. All kinds of stories are welcome.* You can curse if you want. You can tell hard stories. Life isn't all kittens and rainbows. But we like kitten stories too.

How much does it cost?

No cover charge. Free event. We do ask that you buy a beverage of some sort to support our venue.

How does it work?

The list is opened a half hour before the event starts. We will proceed in the order in which people sign up until we reach the end of the list. When your name is called, the stage is yours for seven minutes. We estimate that we have room for about 16-17 storytellers. If we hit the end of the list before the night is finished, we will open things up for another round of stories.

*We are LGBTQIA-affirming and know that Black Lives Matter. We will not tolerate hate speech, misogyny, racism, or homophobia.
