We’re opening up the stage to you, our local writers, poets and storytellers!

ARW is hosting our first OPEN MIC, Friday, May 17th, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at OVC Almonte. Come on out for a night of local stories, performances, and poetry.

Do you have a piece that's a work in progress? A polished story or poem? All work* is welcome. If you are interested in participating, there will be 5-minute slots available. Priority will be given in the order of those that sign up upon arrival.

If you are not a writer or not ready to read a piece aloud we warmly welcome listeners, too. Bring your friends and lend an ear.

* Ensure stories do not include anything that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or graphically violent.
