House of Words is a new & interactive open mic where creatives have a home that fosters and supports their growth while providing top notch entertainment for those who appreciate performing arts.
The first half will have 12 open mic performers and the second half will have 4 artist spotlights. Each open mic performer will have the opportunity to win over the audience and earn an artist spotlight that will be professionally filmed.
We welcome all kinds of acts--poetry, comedy, singing, musicians--but each performer is responsible for their own tech needs. We've got a mic and we're ready to hear what you've got!
November's House of Words performance will be held on the second floor of Iowa Conservatory!
