In association with VSA Texas (The State Organization on Arts and Disability) and the Pen2Paper Creative Writing Contest (a project of the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities), we’re delighted to present an inclusive (mic-less) open mic for writers and musicians.

This special edition of the Lion & the Pirate also features a reading from poet Mel Finefrock, who will be sharing her collection, Patchwork Poetry, and other poems. The Open Mic will be at 1pm, followed by Mel’s reading at 2pm.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this fun and friendly free afternoon suitable for performers of all ages and abilities. Footage from previous Lion & Pirate open mic events can be seen here: http://bit.ly/1m7v4L8.
