Austin Writers Roulette is a bimonthly uncensored, theme-inspired spoken word and storytelling event. It features a different monthly theme and line up of artists who perform their original written works such as poetry, essays, spoken word, singer-songwriting, or excerpts from novels for 5-8 minutes (1200 words or fewer). Interested artists who would like to perform for an upcoming event can email their submission to mathdreads@yahoo.com. Or you can show up during the day of the event and sign up for the open mic after all the featured artists perform. And of course, performance art lovers are always welcome!

This month’s theme is “Volcanic Summer”—under normal conditions, this would have NEVER happened. In addition to performing our theme-inspired works, everyone is invited to share their favorite Brian Grosz story or written piece that honors him. An open mic follows intermission. Visit the Austin Writers Roulette website for more information.
