The “Golden Rules” of Performing

  • All material must be original. Cover songs or the work of other authors is not allowed.
  • Singer/songwriters and musicians may perform two songs or ten minutes of material.
  • Writers and poets may read five to eight minutes of material. Since we are close to Thanksgiving, consider writing a poem or reflection on gratitude. 
  • Please do not exceed time lengths as it is unfair to other performers. Keep introductions to your material brief so you can use your time wisely.
  • Please show respect to other performers. We encourage you to stay for the entire program. We are proud to maintain a community of supportive artists.
  • No recording is allowed except for your own performance.
  • Most importantly, have fun, and know that you are among friends!
