You saw it here first

Do you want to see the next big thing before everyone else knows about it? Then come to Tiny Stage! Tiny Stage is an event where performing artists try out new material just for you.

Artists need to see how their work lands with an audience so that they can improve. But, it can be hard to find an audience. That’s where you come in – at Tiny Stage, you get to see art before anyone else, and your reaction as an audience member will help the artist edit their material. It’s a win win all around.

Tiny Stage is like a more structured open mic night. We have selected a roster of amazing performers who are working on new pieces. All we need is an audience: you!

PS: If you want to perform next time, join our mailing list at empireartscollective.com. Tiny Stage is quarterly and we’d love to have you at the next one.

Show starts at 8:00pm, doors open at 7:30pm.
