GBP PLANTS FRESH WRITERS WITH 2ND ANNUAL PUBLISHER’S MIC NIGHT
Green Buffalo Productions (GBP) is bringing WNY creators to the forefront with the 2nd annual Publisher’s Mic Night. The event is set for August 24th at the Compass Performing Arts Center (formerly the American Rep Theater of WNY).
Publisher’s Mic Night is a three for one deal. This innovative event is an open mic, showcase, and networking event where writers can network with professionals in their field. Our goal is to connect writers and publishers together to foster more publication of WNY poets, playwrights, and authors. By sponsoring events like Publisher’s Mic Night, we aspire to help cultivate a community of new writers and elevate previously unheard voices.
We've built a full schedule for the night based on the submissions we've received, and are happy to report that there are a variety of new and old faces ready to perform their work. Some of this year's readers include Nicole Hebdon, Sam Cochrane, Scott Seifritz, Kayla King, Jillian Hanesworth (among others!)
If you're not performing and you still want to connect with like-minded creators, you can attend as an audience member. After the readings, there is an event reception in the lounge outside the theater where you can mingle and network with the performers and publishers.
General Admission: $10
Cash & Venmo accepted! Send payment to @greenbflo with the caption Publisher's Mic Night.
