***PROOF OF VACCINATION REQUIRED FOR ENTRY*** “Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.” - Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones Have you ever imagined a world whose laws of physics differed from our own? In our current dystopian future, the Not-So-Silent Planet is returning to a live and unjuried event. Welcome to the country's ONLY recurring open-mic dedicated to speculative fiction: fantasy, sci-fi, or supernatural horror! It's time for some lovin' - hot and heavy, forbidden and forlorn, but assuredly limitless, whether across genders, species, or dimensions. Featuring storyteller Connor M. McEvoy! Sign up for 5-7 minutes, and tell us about a place of which we've never dreamt. Growing poetry and storytelling one word at a time, Word Sprout is based in Minneapolis and specializes in producing and capturing Live Literature at its finest. We are committed to providing both open forums and curated stages for people to embrace and share the words that are most important to them in storytelling, poetry, and genre bending verbal explosions. PRAISE FOR THE NOT-SO-SILENT PLANET "It shouldn’t be a surprise to you that ultra-hip MPLS + STPL has an open mic night dedicated to...sci-fi, fantasy, tales of the supernatural and such. It also shouldn’t be a surprise that the quality of the material is higher than an H.G. Wells zeppelin." - Hitara, Secrets of the City "...that was some delightfully trippy shit...mind-bendingly strange and fun...they burrow into your mind and keep you thinking about them long after they’re done." - Matthew Everett, Single White Fringe Geek Strike Theater Masking and Vaccination Policy All patrons, performers, and staff will have to show proof of vaccination (card, digital, or app) to enter Strike Theater.
