We are returning to Zoom for our January 2 show.
As this show closely follows the holidays and transmission rates in NYC are currently high, we have decided to move our Parkside Lounge show to Zoom. Please register via Eventbrite by 3:30 pm on the day of the event. The host will take open mic signups.
The reading will also be livestreamed to the great weather for MEDIA facebook page.
Please keep checking our website and Facebook page for updates on future readings. If we can’t be at the Parkside at any time, we will be on Zoom.
