Opun Mic Night - Theme: Pride

  • ColdTowne Theater 1700 East 2nd Street Austin, TX, 78702 United States (map)

OPUN MIC NIGHT is a gathering of creatives to discover the fun of punning-on-demand, improv, writing, and sharing work, and meeting other like-minds in a casual, 'low-stakes' environment.

This free community event on the first Friday at 5:30 at ColdTowne is about having fun, not (necessarily) being funny!

Our theme for MAY is PRIDE! Celebrating everything that makes you show up fully, authentically, uniquely YOU. 

Optional Dress Code: Loud, proud, and colorful—rainbow patterns.

Speaking of which … where do naughty rainbows go?

To prism–it’s a light sentence and gives them time to reflect.

Thanks to our beverage sponsor, Rambler, for keeping us hydrated as we ramble on :)
