OPEN MIC THURSDAYS continue. Because we remain closed due to the global pandemic COVID-19, we will host our Open Mic online via ZOOM. Because we had such an awesome first virtual open mic, we will bring them to you TWICE per month instead of once. Look for MoAD Open Mic on the SECOND & FOURTH THURSDAYS during the closure.

Because we love MoAD and MoAD loves you! Donations of any amount are always welcome, so if you are able to please consider texting MOADSF to 56512 to make a donation. All donations will go towards supporting MoAD and continuing to bring you engaging programming.
