Open Mic Nights
Take the Mic: September Open Mic Night in Morris
One song. One poem. One person finally working up the nerve to step on stage.
That’s what Morris Open Mic Night is all about, and there’s one more chance to experience it this year.
On Saturday, Sept. 26, the Morris Unity Fund is bringing the community together for an evening of music, poetry, spoken word and local creativity. This month’s event moves indoors to the Stevens County Historical Society & Museum, but the spirit stays the same: a welcoming place to support local performers, share something of your own or simply settle in and listen.

View Facebook EventCome Early for the Clothing & Costume Swap
Before the performances begin, stop by the Community Clothing & Costume Swap from 6–8 p.m.
Bring clean clothes and costumes you’re ready to pass along, or simply bring a bag and see what you find. With Halloween right around the corner, it’s a great chance to swap costumes along with everyday clothing.
Your Turn to Take the Stage
You don’t need to be a professional performer to participate. Open Mic Night was created as a supportive place for local artists to share their work, hone their craft and connect with other creative people in the community.
Musicians, poets and spoken word performers are all invited to participate. Not interested in performing? That’s just as easy. Come be part of the audience, discover local talent and help create the kind of room where people feel comfortable giving the mic a try.

Make It a Night in Morris
Make a night of it while you’re in Morris. Grab dinner before the clothing swap, then head to the museum to browse, swap and stick around for an evening of local performances.
Come with a costume to trade, an instrument to play or simply an open seat to fill. You never know who might take the stage next.
