SCC Sonder Open-Mic

SCC Sonder is a series of spoken word events that allows creative writers of all skill levels to gather and share original work focused on a central theme to form authentic connections that strengthen our community.

October Theme: Hope

Prepare your pieces about the things you dream of, wish for, and work hard to manifest.

All SCC students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to attend and participate by reading their personal narratives, flash fiction, manuscript excerpts, poetry, monologues, lyrics, or performing songs in front of a supportive audience.
