The Portland, Maine Dyke March Committee seeks performers of all genres for an Open Mic Night at the North Star Cafe, in Portland ME, April 17, 2009.

Genres can include (but are not limited to): singers, bands, slam poets or spoken word artists, drag queens or kings, jugglers, burlesque, etc. Audience members will be giving their input on any and all performers for selection to appear during the 2009 Dyke March Pre-Show (in Monument Square) or at the After Party (at One Longfellow Square) on June 19th. All time is a donation to the Portland Dyke March Committee and performers are requested to have one sample performance piece prepared (of no more than 7 minutes in length) for the April 17th Open Mic event (performance lengths for the June 19th events will be determined in conjunction with the committee). Performers are encouraged to bring any friends and all supporters.

If interested please contact the Portland Dyke March Committee at portlanddykemarch@gmail.com. Please provide the following information: Name, Genre, Contact information, Sound needs and Number of people performing with you (if any). The deadline to sign up for the Open Mic event is April 3rd and the evening lineup will be determined by the following Friday. Performance spots for the April 17th Open Mic event will be based on the number of performers and the time available.

The mission of the Portland, Maine Dyke March is to create an empowering movement that fosters community and celebration for dykes and the people who love them. The Portland Dyke March seeks to be positive, feminist, diverse and community-driven in all of its endeavors. We welcome anyone with a past or present connection to the dyke community.
