The Literary Open Stage returns Friday, Feb. 4 at the Upstairs Artspace. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the readings begin at 7 p.m. All are welcome to read their original work for 10 minutes.

There is a core group of regulars and each event offers some surprises from new and established local authors. Work has ranged from prose to poetry to song and from fiction to non-fiction with a common thread of high-quality original literature.

Come to read or enjoy the work of others in a supportive environment. Sign-up to present from 6:30 – 7 p.m.

The Upstairs Artspace is located in downtown Tryon at 49 S. Trade Street. Check the website at upstairsartspace.org for information, future dates and even a few videos from past events.
