1. Where do I get tickets?
Advanced tickets for GRTTWaK go on sale exclusively through Brown Paper Tickets.
Warning: Advanced tickets go quickly. For example, GRTTWaK11 sold out in less than 24 hours.
A link to buy tickets is always sent ahead of time to members of the mailing list.
If you miss out on advanced tickets, you can try your luck the night of the show, when a very small number of rush tickets will be sold at the door.
2. Can I bring something to read?
Yes, please. This is an open-mic event, and it only works when people actually bring things to read in front of other. Too many spectators makes for a short and boring night. If you read at GRTTWaK, your admission is free.
Spots are on a first-come, first-served basis, and if you want to read, you must sign up in advance online. A link to the sign-up sheet will be sent ahead of time to members of the mailing list.
3. What can I read?
Basically whatever you want, so long as it’s yours and it’s short. Here are the three rules that govern what you can read at a GRTTWaK event:
- You have to be the one who wrote it, as a kid
- You have to be the one who reads it, as an adult
- It has to be short (<5 minutes-ish)
4. What does “kid” mean?
Kid = whatever you consider kid to mean. One of the best things about GRTTWaK is the wide variety of things people bring to read. We’ve had stuff from early elementary school all the way up to college age writing. Bring whatever you want.
5. Is GRTTWaK a really great first date?
Yes.
