Description:

Join Capital Pride and Busboys and Poets for the annual OUT Spoken: A Night of Queer Expression FULL-STORE pride event.

This space is open to ALL, we welcome all gender identities and especially encourage our transwomen and cis-women community to share their words on the mic. Audience members can expect a diverse chorus of voices, and an array of professional spoken word performers, open mic rookies, and more!
