The highly successful Sanibel literary season will reach its climax on Friday, April 30th at 4 P.M., with an Open Mic reading at The Bean on Sanibel. Writers, residents and visitors to the islands are invited to read and listen to original and favorite selections of poetry and prose.

.

Open Mic readings are informal. The only requirements are that performers sign the Reader’s List and limit their reading time to five minutes. If you choose not to read, you are welcome to listen.

For the last seven years, Open Mics at the Bean on Sanibel have become very popular throughout the entire Southwest Florida region. Poets and writers from Fort Myers, Florida Gulf Coast University, Charlotte and Collier County as well as writers from the United Kingdom, Australia and Latin America participate in the Open Mics at the Bean. Please come and share this entertaining afternoon with us.
