We are excited to have you perform at The Parkside Lounge!
Before getting on stage, please take a minute to think about the work you want to share and if it aligns with the principles that we are trying to promote in this space which are, in short, a place where people from all walks of life can feel welcome.
We do not tolerate hate speech and will cut your mic and ask you to leave if you veer towards it- this includes language that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic and ableist.
We aren't asking you to water down or curb the emotion in your piece, we are asking you to be thoughtful about whether you are perpetuating harmful stereotypes and systems of oppression or resisting them.
