Lyrics Lab Open Mic Brings Creative Energy to The Hive Black Box Theater

Pompano Beach’s creative community has a new place to gather, share, and shine—and it’s buzzing with excitement. Lyrics Lab Open Mic is officially calling the brand-new Hive Black Box Theater home, and the stage is set for an unforgettable night of artistic expression. Mark your calendar for January 21 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, and get ready to experience one of the most vibrant open-mic nights in South Florida. Admission is just $10, and performers step up to the mic for free.

Held every third Wednesday of the month, Lyrics Lab transforms The Hive Black Box Theater into an electrifying creative playground where poetry, music, comedy, storytelling, and spoken word collide. The intimate black box setting creates the perfect atmosphere—raw, immersive, and welcoming—allowing both performers and audience members to truly connect with the art unfolding on stage.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or someone who’s been quietly writing verses in a notebook, Lyrics Lab invites you to unleash your creativity. This is a space where new work is celebrated, bold ideas are encouraged, and every voice matters. Bring your freshest poems, captivating short stories, original songs, witty jokes, or rhythmic beats. The audience comes ready to listen, support, and be inspired, making it an ideal environment to try something new or refine your craft.

Not quite ready to perform? That’s part of the magic, too. Lyrics Lab is just as rewarding for those who come to watch. Sit back, sip on a cocktail, and soak in the dynamic energy of Pompano Beach’s premier cultural arts hub. Each night offers a unique lineup of voices and styles, ensuring no two Lyrics Lab events are ever the same. From heartfelt performances to laugh-out-loud moments, the evening unfolds as a true celebration of creativity and community.

Adding to the experience is the Lyrics Lab house band, providing live musical support that elevates performances and keeps the energy flowing throughout the night. Guiding the evening is the charismatic host Erick Carter, whose engaging presence and passion for the arts set the tone and make performers feel right at home. Together, they create an atmosphere that is both professional and inviting—perfect for first-timers and regulars alike.

Lyrics Lab Open Mic is more than an event; it’s a gathering place for artists, creatives, and culture lovers to connect and collaborate. It reflects the spirit of Pompano Beach—diverse, expressive, and community-driven. With its new home at The Hive Black Box Theater, Lyrics Lab continues to grow as a cornerstone of the local arts scene.

Join us on January 21 and every third Wednesday thereafter. Whether you take the stage or cheer from the audience, you’ll leave inspired, energized, and reminded of the power of sharing stories and sound in a space where creativity truly thrives.
