Open Mic Night at the Wilma Theater - Nov 4

The Wilma Theater in Philadelphia is hosting an Open Mic Night on Monday, November 4 in conjunction with its production of Dance Nation by Clare Barron, a comedy about female ambition set in the world of competitive dance. At Open Mic Night, local artists will present works that respond to themes and ideas from the play. This event is hosted by Philadelphia spoken-word poet and actress Jaylene Clark Owens, and our featured artist for Dance Nation is performer and choreographer Sanchel Brown.

Casey Berner, former Villanova English major and current project coordinator at the Wilma, is urging current Villanova students to attend or even share work at the Open Mic Night.

The Wilma offers $10 tickets to Dance Nation for those who sign up for the Open Mic, as well as discounted student tickets and group rates for 10 or more, so students can see the play before sharing. Those interested in sharing work on Nov. 4 should contact wilmaopenmic@gmail.com. A sign-up sheet will also be available the day of the Open Mic.
