OPEN MIC NIGHT TAKING A BREAK

Winter weather means hunkering down and staying in. So Open Mic will go on a hiatus until further notice to allow for our staff to take a breather, reset, and be ready for a revived Open Mic Night. We thank everyone for always coming out to Open Mic Night, and we hope to see everyone once we return!

Updated Box Office Hours

The Box Office Staff can be reached via email or phone during regular business hours, we will respond to any voice messages during our Friday Box Office hours. Additionally, you can visit us in person every Friday from 10:00AM-2:00PM. The Box Office is open 1 hour before every Main Stage Event, and during Tuesday Open Mic Night at 7:30PM.
