Introducing Open Mic Nights at the Hay River Youth Centre!

This event was created by the young people who took part in our Community Skills workshop this past November!

Open Mic Nights will be held on the last Saturday of each month and will be open to any youth performers aged 12-18. Performances can be music, comedy, drama, poetry reading or just about anything else! Sign-up sheet is located on the Community Board at the Youth Centre.

Adults are welcome, but must be accompanied by a youth (seriously, this was a rule they created)!
