Story & Verse: A Storytelling and Poetic Open Mic
2025-11-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Solley Theater – Arts Council of Princeton, Princeton, NJ
Share your story, your poetry, or your prose, based on the monthly theme!

Story & Verse provides a warm and welcoming spotlight for both emerging and established artists in our Solley Theater, an intimate space in the heart of Downtown Princeton.
November is Arts & Health Month. A time to celebrate the ways creativity and expression can heal, uplift, and connect us. So this month, we invite you to reflect on the intersection of art and well-being through your words and stories.
Join us as a performer:

Prepare a story, poem, or spoken word piece up to 5 minutes in length and (at least loosely) related to the theme. This month’s theme is open. Share what you like!
Arrive by 6:45pm to add your name to the hat. No previous experience or pre-registration necessary.

Join our audience:

Take the elevator or stairs to the Solley Theater, located on the top floor of our Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.
Optional: participate from your seat with a Micro Story. Read the printed prompt based on the evening’s theme and respond with a super concise story (just a line or two!) that answers the question. Brass Rabbit will read your story at the mic, as time allows.
Find a seat and enjoy the performances. We kick off shortly after 7pm.

Questions? Shoot us an email.

About our host:
Brass Rabbit is an artist, contemporary curator, and arts administrator based in Trenton, New Jersey. Rabbit has been creating and hosting poetry, spoken word, and storytelling events in the tri-state area for over a decade. As a performer, the art of storytelling holds a very special place in her heart, but listening to and supporting others is where she feels most at home.
Hosting the Story & Verse Open Mic at the Arts Council of Princeton could be called a dream job, but for Rabbit, the position completely lacks any “work-like” qualities and is more of an outstanding experience she looks forward to each month. Previously, Rabbit has hosted the Levitt Amp Music Series, Voice to Ear Festival, Word on Front Poetry Festival, independent poetry and storytelling open mics, and even curated an art exhibition celebrating the art of poetry.
