Mother On Mic

An open mic evening of raw, tender, hilarious, heartbreaking stories on the wild ride of mothering and being mothered. Share or listen! Mother on Mic heads to Kenyon Hall! As the longest night of the year draws near, join us in the warmth of community for an open mic style evening of true words and unpolished stories told on stage about the wild, raw, tender, hilarious, heartbreaking and often absurd ride that is mothering and being mothered. You don't have to be a mother to attend or share — having a mother is enough! Bring your journals, group chats, voice memos, poems, essays, first drafts and works in progress. We’ll laugh, cry, scream, breathe, howl — together! All stories are welcome in this space for those who identify as women and nonbinary. You can just come to listen, too. Our community holds it all. At Mother on Mic, we try our best to create space to connect with each other, so join us as early as 6PM to grab a mulled cider and meet some awesome folks. What to expect: 6 pm - Gather: mix, mingle and enjoy refreshments (or grab an adult beverage at Locol next door) 7 pm - Stories: mic is open for 5 minute stories! Read or just listen. 9 pm - Goodbye, for now. We appreciate your presence as much as your support. If cost is an obstacle, get in touch at [email protected]. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
