Ever dreamed of being the next Beyoncé? Secretly write poetry in your car? Know a joke so bad it’s actually good? Whether you’re a shower singer, a reluctant comedian, or just have a weird talent involving rubber chickens, we want YOU on our stage!
Join us for Lunchtime Open Mic at 12:30 p.m. on the Buchanan Hall Cafeteria Stage, where the only thing more delicious than lunch is the entertainment. Faculty, staff, students, and yes, the whole community: this is your official invitation to wow us, surprise us, or just make us snort-laugh in public.
No auditions, no pressure, no Simon Cowell. Just grab the mic and do your thing. Music, stories, jokes, interpretive dance, kazoo solos, anything goes (as long as it’s PG, folks).
Come for the food, stay for the talent (or the courage), and let’s make some memories that are way better than cafeteria mystery meat.
Bring your friends, bring your grandma, bring your dog (okay, maybe not your dog). We can’t wait to see what you’ve got!
