Performers needed for Cafe Stage at Pride!

Hi folks!

Pride is right around the corner and SMYRC planning is underway!

One way to be involved is to sign up to perform at Pride Fest on the Cafe Stage! SMYRC’s stage time is Sunday, June 20th from 5pm to 6pm. It will be an open mic format, with ten slots available for folks to perform in, each slot about 5 minutes in length. Drag performances, monologues, poetry, music, puppetry, interpretive dance and just about anything else you can dream up are all welcome to be performed!

If you are interested in performing, send me an email, call or text 503.969.2266, or stop by drop in and let me know and I’ll put you on the list! In the event that more than 10 people want to perform, we’ll put everyone’s names in a hat at 4:45pm that day and draw 10 names and that will decide who is performing.

And remember, even though we won’t be at SMYRC, you will be representing SMYRC and so all SMYRC performance community agreements apply: Keep it respectful to all genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, religions, ages and abilities! No glorification of drugs, alcohol or violence. Have fun! Strut your stuff!

We’re also looking for a few folks to talk on the Main Stage and share their experiences with SMYRC, with coming out, or what community means to them. The main stage time is really a time to show the larger PDX queer communities how important and amazing of a place SMYRC is! We don’t know the details yet on when that time slot is, but let me know if you are interested!
