GREENFIELD, MA — The LAVA Center is excited to announce a new monthly queer open mic night, Smack Dab, hosted by Jules and Avery.
Smack Dab Queer Open Mic is a free 18+ LGBTQIA community open mic in Greenfield, MA with the slogan “All genders, all the time.” Your hosts are Jules and Avery.
Join us every first Friday of the month starting August 1. (September it will be held on Thursday, July 17.) Sign-up at 6:30 p.m. and performances start at 7 p.m.
Smack Dab Queer Open Mic is modeled after the now defunct Smack Dab in San Francisco, founded in 2003 by Kirk Read and Larry-bob Roberts at Magnet, the gay men’s health clinic in the Castro.
If you’d like to perform at the open mic, please come sign up and bring five to seven minutes of whatever you want to share: stories, poems, a song, dance, your art or, perhaps you’d simply like to join us as audience? We’re the friendliest open mic you’ll find, but we pay attention to time.
Questions? Contact Jules and Avery at smackdabqueeropenmic@gmail.com.
