AMPLIFY is an open mic series that gives local area queer musicians, writers, comedians and
poets a safe stage of love and support. Artists can share, network, critique and try out new
material at this non-elitist, no stress performance environment. Don't want to get up on stage?
Come out anyways, both the food and drinks at Diiazza's are great and the entertainment will
certainly be interesting! You'll be sure to meet some new people and get the chance to
witness all of the talented people around you.
We encourage all levels of performers, whether novice or expert, to hone their performance
skills and talents in front of an audience.
