In collaboration with Spiderweb Salon, we invite you to spend the night surrounded by fellow queer and trans folks + allies as they share poetry, stories, songs and more!
Sign-ups start at 7, show starts at 8. Maximum 6 minute set time, original work only (no covers). We’re open to all forms of expression: poetry, storytelling, music, performance art, etc! Collaborations are welcome.
***We will be prioritizing LGBTQIA2S+ voices on the mic. Spiderweb Salon has a zero-tolerance policy for racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or discriminatory hate in any form.***
If you aren’t able to join us in-person—no worries! We will be live streaming the event on our Instagram! Tune in to our page @pridentontx when the event starts and share your love and applause in the comments 💕
