From the organizer: Saigon Says is an event for poets, prose writers, original songwriters/rappers, comedians, story tellers, drama performers, etc. 

The goal is for artists to come and share their work across mediums to create a diverse show, all the while pushing ourselves to create work and open avenues for inspiration and collaboration.

TIME: 
DOORS AT 7:00
SHOW AT 7:30

**show will start on time, on the 3rd floor of the Heart of Darkness. 

Our aim is for this show to be late enough that you can zoom over after work and end early enough for those with bedtimes *cough Erin Gurley cough*

THIS IS ALL ORIGINAL WORK. PERFORMERS PLEASE NOTE THAT COVER MATERIAL IS NOT PERFORMED HERE. 

This event is a safe space, as we are inviting people to share themselves, be vulnerable and open in a public place. There is no discrimination of any kind allowed, and as it takes time and effort to create this work, please show our performers respect while being present by being as QUIET as possible. Performers will have a maximum time limit of 7 minutes in order to get in as many diverse acts as possible, so performers, please time your work. Audience, there will never be the same show twice! Come and enjoy this unique variety show filled with some amazing talents right here in Saigon. 

There will be a cover cost of 50,000 to enter. This addition is to help the founder cover some organizational costs, and to sustain the continuing of this event. Thanks!
