In honor of Trans Day of Visibility, an open mic talent show for transgender performers will be held on March 31 at Wild Heaven Beer West End.
The goal of the event is to shine a positive light on how talented trans people are amidst a culture that’s hyperfocused on cis people’s negative reactions to the community. The show will allow the opportunity for any trans person who wants to to share their comedy, music, spoken word, fashion, poetry, improv, art, or other talent on stage. Each performer will get about five minutes to show their stuff.
Cis allies are welcome as audience. Admission will work on a sliding scale, from $5 to $20, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Doors are at 7pm, show at 8pm. Anyone who is interested in volunteering for the event can email laurenjonescomedy@gmail.com with “Volunteer” in the subject.
