The Book and Bottle Shop, 123 E. Ninth St., is having another open mic night for poetry readings and other creative expressions at 6 p.m. Friday, May 8.
A meet-and-greet will start at 5:30 p.m., when participants sign up for the open mic. Participants can also register in advance here.
Poetry readings have been among the best attended events at the downtown shop. This one has a theme, “Just This Moment.”
“Performers are encouraged to share work around topics of unique moments in life,” the shop owners said in a Facebook post. “Adherence to the theme is not required and is only meant to be a helpful tool to guide performers if needed.”
Original works, lasting no more than five minutes, are encouraged. However, published works are also acceptable with full credit for the author.
