When does the open mic list open and how do I sign up?
Due to the high demand for performers eager to grace our stage, we currently have a lottery system to ensure fairness. Upon entry, guests who want to perform will be given a piece of paper to write their name and place it in the performers’ jar. DPL will accept names until the show begins. The list (jar) is closed once the open mic starts. Throughout the show, names are pulled at random.
Please DO NOT line up earlier than 7:30pm for list sign-ups.
