The Literary Open Stage returns this Friday, Nov. 9, 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.

Make plans to attend the next Open Stage for a real surprise. Even the organizers are always surprised by the outcome.

We may never know who will show, but we have never left disappointed. Work ranges from prose to poetry to song, and from fiction to non-fiction, with a common thread of high quality, original literature.

So don’t miss the best literature the “Dark Corner” has to offer.

Come to read or enjoy the work of others in a congenial, non-threatening and supportive environment. Sign in to present from 6:30 to 7 p.m.; Readings start at 7 p.m.

The Upstairs Artspace is located in downtown Tryon at 49 S. Trade Street. Check the website at upstairsartspace.org for additional information, or call 828-859-2828 Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
