Open Mic: On the Right Track

  • 229 North 34th Street Philadelphia, PA, 19104 United States (map)

Join us on Friday, January 9th, in Ross Commons (229 N 34th Street), 3rd floor, from 5:30 PM -7:00 PM

For the second run of our open mic series, On the Right Track!

Expect a lively evening of poetry reading. With ample room to enjoy others’ work, and opportunity to share your own—Whether it’s your first or tenth open mic, we welcome you to come cultivate community, experience imagination, and inspire one another, at On the Right Track.


Ross Commons, where the Writers Room resides in Powelton Village, was once owned by the comptroller of the Pennsylvania Railroad before being acquired by Drexel in 1928. In the early 2000s, it was reborn as the George and Lyn Ross Commons: a new community space for students. From a symbol of power and industry to a community hub of creation and collaboration. Ross Commons’ history— in relation to railroads and community collaboration inspired the name of the series, On the Right Track, to symbolize the directions we chart forward, together.

We hope you’ll join us for this fun evening. Don’t forget to bring something to read, and/or ears to listen. Come enjoy some open mic and connection with the Writers Room community!
