Stage Left Open Mic

The Stage Left Open Mic meets on the 2nd Friday of every month from 7 – 10 pm at Stage Left Cafe, 125 Van Buren St. on the historic Woodstock Square.

The Stage Left Open Mic from Off Square Music is a monthly event in Woodstock. Performers — musicians, singers, poets, and others — come together to connect with a live audience in a wonderful, family-friendly environment.

Whether you’re just starting out as a performer or are a seasoned veteran, Open Mic nights feature a supportive atmosphere. Stage Left, part of the Woodstock Opera House, offers more support with an exceptional performance space and sound system.

These Open Mics meet 7 – 10 pm, Stage Left Cafe, 125 Van Buren St. on the historic Woodstock Square on the SECOND FRIDAY of every month.

Off Square requests a $5.00/pp donation to support our many music activities, including these Stage Left Open Mic nights.
