All comers are welcome. There is no such thing as exclusion. There is no such thing as sitting alone.
We believe that your life is a story worth telling.
We recognize that words can be more dangerous than weapons. You have the freedom to speak your beliefs, but we ask that you be kind.
It’s okay to perform with your outside voice.
Everyone is a poet, musician, storyteller, or artist. Whether it’s your first time on stage or your thousandth, we want to hear and listen to your words.
We clap after each performance, we snap when someone is struggling, we treat strangers like neighbors.
“Talent” is only measured by a willingness to speak or listen bravely.
We respect that it takes guts to get on stage. We listen to one another and strive to give each person the attention they deserve.
We’ll buy you a beer if you’re having an awful night. Just ask.
We celebrate non-conformity, daring thoughts, and silencing the naysayers.
We believe that story telling is healing, but so is listening. Both forms of participation are welcome.
