The Mayflower Arts Center and Troy Community Radio present...
Open Mic Variety Night
Hosted by Jon Morris
Saturday, June 24, 2017 @ 8PM — Doors Open @ 7:15PM
$5.00 to PLAY or STAY - Tickets available at the door
Join us Saturday, June 24 as we present our second Open Mic Variety Night. The event will be hosted by Dayton's own, Jon Morris.
Furthering its vision to support local artists, the Mayflower Arts Center is adding Open Mic Variety Nights to its repertoire. The event is open to any and all who would like to perform. Solo and group acts may include, but are not limited to, music, improv, stand-up comedy, poetry, skits, or magic. The MAC is a family-friendly venue, so all content must be acceptable for all ages.
“We are very excited!” says Lisa Bauer, Owner and Director of the Mayflower Arts Center. “Having the new mini-stage in our main theatre allows us to flex the space for a variety of uses, including theatre and performance. This is all a small step toward our giant vision of renovating the original 1928 stage in the back of the building. Back in the day the stage was used for performance events including vaudeville acts. It is wonderful to get back to the Mayflower’s roots and showcase more venues now as an Arts Center!”
For the August 23 event, doors will open at 6:30 PM and the acts will go on from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. There will be a $5.00/person cover at the door (to play or stay). Upon arrival, artists will be able to sign up for a fifteen minute time slot that includes a five minute period to set up. Time slots will be given on a first come, first serve basis. If artists wish to secure a time slot ahead of time, they may sign up in person at the Mayflower Arts Center on Saturday, August 23 between 4:00-6:00pm with a nonrefundable $5.00/person deposit (in addition to the $5/person cover charge).
Equipment for the Open Mic Variety Night will be limited to only one microphone. Artists are welcome to perform acoustically or bring their own additional (minimal) equipment, as there will be a strict time schedule and each act will only have five minutes to set up.
There will be a raffle at the conclusion of the evening. Two (2) tickets will be drawn at random for prizes. You must be present to win.
