DESCRIPTION:The Lion & Pirate invites you to our virtual inclusive open mic for writers\, performers\, and musicians! As always\, we’re open to work in any genre: music\, spoken word\, improv\, skits\, storytelling\, dance\, poems or prose… Anything you can perform!\n🗓️ **When**: Sunday\, January 12th\, 2025\n🕖 **Time**: 1:00 – 2:30 PM CDTWe invite you to our first open mic of 2025\, Sunday\, January 12\, 1-2:30 pm on Zoom. During this time\, we’d like to invite your feedback about the future of the Lion & Pirate. Some questions we’re considering as organizers:\n\nHow did you feel about the in person/ virtual hybrid event in December? Would you like to do more open mics like this?\nMaking each L&P run smoothly is a two-person job. Who has interest in co-hosting\, even if it’s just for one event (not a long-term commitment)?\nAre there changes you’d like to see to Lion & Pirate? Do you want things to stay the same?\n\nAnd of course\, we’ll be making time for a proper round robin style open mic and hope you’ll bring a poem\, song\, story\, or other performance (or two) to share. \nNo need to sign up\, just come to the meeting and we will round robin.\nJoin us on Zoom:\nEmail info@artsparktx.org to receive the zoom link
