Wordcraft Open Stage

Welcome to Wordcraft — come jingle it up for our final event of the year. Since 2020, we have been hosting stages for you to show up and celebrate humanity, raw and in process. We have a pipeline that turns audience members into participants, into published and performing artists. All are welcome. We deeply value gatherings full of heart, laughter and safe passage to expression. On the Wordcraft mic, we have witnessed first-timers to old-timers learning new tricks and revisiting stories from their well-lived lives. Whether it's poetry, song, comedy, dance, or a combination involving props and instruments — bring it! Come along and join us for an evening of community, human creativity and celebration. Is the stage calling you? While we are known to be poetry-leaning, we welcome all expressions on the stage. You are welcome to bring first drafts, freestyles, musical renditions, drag, dance, expression. Whatever it is you want to do on the stage, as long as it's from the heart, it is welcome. What does that mean? We have a no-dickhead policy. We recognise the open mic invites free speech and open exploration of ideas, and yes, you are encouraged to say the uncomfortable thing here. Just be mindful that we don't platform hate speech or discrimination of any kind, and have asked people to leave for this. We all have a responsibility to our audience and ourselves. THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT - CAPACITY IS OUR AVERAGE FROM LAST SEASON! So get your ticket! WE WANT YOUR ART! Doors open 7pm for a 7:30pm start. Names in the hat at the door. Runsheet is announced at the top of the night. Get dinner before, as we don't have a kitchen at this bar - cheap drinks all night! Unfortunately, this venue is not wheelchair accessible.
