Friday Night Open Mic
Thumbnail Theater has been hosting an All-Ages and Family-Friendly Mic since 2006 - one of the longest continuously operating community Open Mics in Snohomish County. We are known for a casual, warm, welcoming experience where people of all ages can perform on stage. The acoustics in the performance auditorium are excellent, and our audience and volunteers are supportive and enjoy supporting the arts community.
