SOMETHING BIG IS COMING
IN SPRING 2015
It has been a year since Do Not Submit, Chicago's open mic dedicated solely to storytelling, went on hiatus due to the closing of our venue, Powell's North in Lakeview.
We are happy to announce that this open mic is not coming back.
Do Not Submit will be returning in neighborhoods all over Chicago. Our goal is to provide safe, encouraging environments for the people of our city to come together and connect through story, to be hosted by and for members of each community.
There are stories in every corner of Chicago, not just in a pocket of a few square blocks on the north side, and the strength of Chicago's growing storytelling community is in the diversity of its voices.
We believe that you shouldn't have to travel all of the way across the city to express yourself, but that you should have a judgment and pressure free place right down the street to swap stories with your friends and neighbors.
We look forward to meeting you and to hearing your story.
