FRIDAY PERFORMANCE Show-Off: An Open Mic Night for You to Liv e Out Your DreamsIs it a universal experience to have a family member or friend who always brings a “look what I can do” to the table? I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I, for one, wholeheartedly appreciate a niche party trick and/or suspiciously polished impression. Luckily, Annex Theatre is building an entire night around that show-off energy with a cabaret-style open mic where performers are encouraged to bring their unique talents to the stage. Whether it be a dramatic monologue, a song, a character bit, movement art, stand-up routine, or whatever else: this night is far less industry showcase than it is community talent show. Expect all support, no rejection, and some serious theatre kid vibes. LANGSTON THOMAS(Annex Theatre, Capitol Hill, free) Read more on EverOut!
