DreamWrights' inaugural Open Mic Night held last August was such a success that not only is it being featured again, but also the age limit for the event has been lowered. Aspiring entertainers 16 years and older are invited to share their talents, whether it be music, spoken word, comedy, etc. , at this Open Mic Night hosted by DreamWrights Center for Community Arts. Relax in the lounge-style setting while enjoying performances from members of the local community.

Stand up comedienne, Jackie Wyker, performed at DreamWrights' Open Mic in August and is scheduled to perform again. Wyker, who has been doing comedy for about a year, enjoyed the first Open Mic Night so much, she is happy to return. "It was a great night. Good food, beverages and lots of talent. Both watching and performing was a delight," Wyker says.

Fellow comedian and Energy Management Advisor, Greg Billet, is also making a return appearance. "We had a great time last time, it seemed like a big excited crowd and that's always fun. It felt like they came ready to laugh and have a good time. It's cool that DreamWrights served drinks and food also. Everyone loves that!"

Ben Garner of Rent Sound gear is running sound for the event. Garner says, "Rent Sound Gear specializes in providing sound for events like this. We've hosted many open mic nights before. We are looking forward to it."

DreamWrights' Open Mic Night will be held Saturday, January 28 from 7:00pm to 11:00pm. Food and drink are available for purchase. Bar service is provided by Tutoni's.
