It’s the 1st Wednesday so it must be Untitled!
October 2, 6 to 9 pm
Our second Mill City Speaks Team Qualifier of the season!
We are getting the slam season rolling with our qualifiers to form our 2025 Mill City Slam Team. Poets compete with original works for a chance to not only hold a space in our Mill City Slam Finals but also for $100 in Cash Prizes!
Plus our unfeigned, unfiltered, un fathomable
Untitled Open Mic!
Bring your own musings or just sit back and enjoy the show!
The Untitled Open Mic is hosted at Coffee and Cotton at Mill No. 5. Located in a historic downtown textile building, Mill No. 5 is a destination into what Lowell is; home to independent shops, The Luna Theatre, the Farm Market, and Coffee and Cotton. Coffee and Cotton is the heart of the building, serving up coffee, espresso, and lattes, wine, local craft beer, delicious, made to order, locally sourced options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is also a venue for live music, game nights, community events, and now our Untitled Open Mic.
