RASP: Our Open Mic

	RASP: Our Open Mic
RASP, the Redmond Association of Spokenword promotes written and spoken arts—including poetry, fiction, drama, and nonfiction—in East King County through inclusive education programming and performance events. Please join us!

What's an Open Mic?

Each month, we open up the microphone to everyone to share their poetry and prose with a receptive audience. You can also participate by relaxing and listening to the words of others.

If you have written something you would like to read, show up early and sign up for a time slot. Time slots are scheduled before and after the featured reader at each month's Reading Series.

What are the guidelines for the Open Mic?

Please limit readings to approximately three (3) minutes.
Be supportive of and show respect for the readers.
Be open to new experiences.
The Reading Series and Open Mic are conducted in a family-friendly community facility and are open to all ages. Bold work is encouraged but please respect public sensibilities. Remember, families with children may be present due to other activities and may peek in to see what RASP is.

What time do you meet?

Sign-up begins at approximately 6:45 pm for the Open Mic and the evening's program begins at 7:00 pm.

When and where do you meet?

The RASP Open Mic and Reading Series are held the last Friday of each month at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center (ORSCC) at 16600 NE 80th Street, Redmond, WA 98052—Click for directions to ORSCC
