Anything Goes!

7 Minute Max is the brain child of Jenifer Hamel. Absent from the Little Rock art/theater scene for several years, Hamel returns home aspiring to invigorate audience and artist alike with a new open mic venue. She is not above stealing her own ideas. 7 Minute Max is an exact replica of a forum she hosted in Los Angeles.

7 Minute Max is the audience’s pot-luck and the performer’s delight - a refreshingly eclectic evening of talent and nerve.

Hamel calls on all storytellers, poets, stand-ups, dancers, writers, musicians, liars, magicians, improvisers, orators, singers, actors, video and performance artists to command the stage for 7 minutes maximum!

"Where else in Little Rock can a Shakespearean monologue follow a guy in a trench coat with a lampshade on his head playing keyboards strapped to his chest?"
