Join us for an inspiring Open Mic Night, the grand finale of IGNITE! Writing Camp, where the magic of storytelling comes to life under the stars in The Porch’s backyard. This special evening is free and open to everyone, offering a platform for a wide array of stories, poems, and performances from a diverse group of voices.

While IGNITE! participants have priority, we warmly invite writers of all levels and genres to sign up. Come for the stories; stay for the drinks, refreshments, and the warm camaraderie of fellow writers. Whether you’re stepping up to the mic or supporting from the audience, let's celebrate an evening of community and creativity together.

MC'd by Yurina Yoshikawa, The Porch's Director of Education.
