Special theme: Unrequited Love. Just in time for Halloween! If you have any work that fits the theme and you would like to feature it at the October pub night before the open mic, please contact Jason from the WGA at [email protected].
The open mic is open to anyone and does not have to be on theme.

About Edmonton Pub Night
Edmonton Pub Nights take place on the third Wednesday of the month at Rooster Bar & Kitchen on Whyte Avenue, Edmonton. The venue is accessible by wheelchair through the front entrance. There is paid parking available on Whyte Avenue through the City of Edmonton and various commercial lots as well as for free in some surrounding neighbourhoods.
You do not need to be a member of the Writers’ Guild of Alberta to read at the open mic. All genres are welcome, but spots are limited. Sign-up begins at 7:00 PM MT, and we do our best to give everyone a chance to read by asking that you please keep your reading to three minutes or less.
