The historic Rio Grande Theatre is proud to announce its newest community initiative: the First Friday Open Mic series. Starting in 2026, the theatre will open its legendary stage to local talent on the first Friday of every month, providing a professional platform for musicians, poets, comedians, and performers of all kinds.

As part of the Rio Grande Theatre’s commitment to fostering local art and “Great Resilience,” this monthly event aims to bridge the gap between amateur performers and the professional stage. Whether you are a seasoned storyteller or a first-time singer, the First Friday Open Mic offers a high-quality acoustic environment and a supportive community atmosphere.

Open to all ages. Performer sign ups open at 5:00pm. Piano and drum kit available for use, full PA provided.
