After the Roses Open Mic at Big Lick Brewing Co.

After the Roses is an open mic night for the real stuff love is made of, the parts that do not fit in a box of chocolates.

Join us in the back room of Big Lick Brewery for an evening of poems, stories, and truths about what remains when the holiday is over and the world goes back to normal. Bring the sweet parts, sure. Bring the complicated parts too. The apology that took years. The friendship that saved you. The love that changed shape. The love you are learning to give yourself. The grief that still feels like devotion. The quiet kind of commitment that looks like showing up again and again.

This theme is not just romance. It is every kind of love that leaves a mark, and every kind of truth you only learn after the petals fall.
Come to inspire. Come to speak. Come to listen. Come as you are, whether your heart is full, bruised, brand new, or still thawing out.
