November’s Theme: In Plain Sight
Sometimes it takes a storm to show us what’s been there all along. This November, we’re sharing stories of the extraordinary hiding in the familiar—the places we underestimate, the people who surprise us, and the possibilities we almost miss.

What was right in front of you, just waiting to be seen?

Want to Tell Your Story?

Our open mics are simple: sign up when you grab your ticket or find us night of and we’ll put your name in the bag. Whether it’s planned or spontaneous, your voice is welcome here. Writers, poets, songwriters, and storytellers of every kind are invited to step up to the mic. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, tall tales, truth-telling, and everything in between—if you’ve got something to share, we’d love to hear it.

November’s Featured Storyteller: Jonah Allen:
Jonah Allen is a world-class artist who has mastered the art of capturing movement in his photography. A passionate surfer, musician, and photographer, Jonah’s deep understanding of rhythm and beat, and his keen eye for the colors of the coastline, have made his name and artwork a staple in the beachside communities of Northwest Florida. Jonah’s work has found its way across the country and throughout the globe, in every place inspiring the viewer and eliciting the feelings that arise within the heart when one’s toes meet the sand and the surf. His images convey a sense of ease and calm, representing an artist’s determination and his understanding of his subject.

For Jonah, sharing the experience of nature is essential to his work. He has two purpose-driven goals in his work: first, to make people feel connected to the divine through his art, and second, to inspire people to experience nature themselves. Jonah’s photography captures the emotion that has long drawn visitors and lifelong residents to the Florida Gulf Coast. With each evocative photograph made with great skill and a deep appreciation for the environment he captures, Jonah’s work is an essential expression of the feeling only those who have experienced the serenity of the ocean truly understand.
