Starting at 7:30pm performers can sign up to share their talents with a welcoming audience. From songs to spoken word poetry to instrumentals, you never know what undiscovered talent you'll enjoy at Open Mic night. 

Feel the urge to join in the fun? Get there early and add your name to the list. The Marquee is always happy to introduce new performers.

If you're more of a spectator than a star of the stage, might we suggest a ordering a drink to keep your hands busy between rounds of applause? Their signature libations include the Dress Rehearsal and the Showstopper, among other theatrically named cocktails. A nice selection of wine by the glass is offered, too.

Appetizers, small plates and desserts are on the menu, too. Perfect for calming nerves and settling those butterflies in your stomach.

Local personality Dustin Janson hosts Open Mic night at the Marquee every Wednesday from 8pm until 11pm. Stop by and get your fix - whether in the form of an alcoholic beverage or a small dose of spotlight.
