Teen Open Mic (WTAC)

Westford Teen Arts Council  – Celebrating 18 Years of Rockin’ the PCA

If you’re a teen with an interest in music, performing, being a sound technician, or just hanging out with your friends, Westford Teen Arts Council (WTAC) is the place for you. We are a student-run organization, producing open-mic shows primarily for performers in grades 8-12 (but all are welcome). We embrace music of all types: jazz, classical, acoustic, rock, and even spoken-word and poetry.

Our 2018-19 Season

Admission $5, and snacks will be available.

Upcoming shows are listed below. Check our social media sites for future show dates. We plan to have shows roughly every six weeks from October to June, with loads of opportunities for you to perform or just come and support your friends. Sometimes, however, school conflicts or other events cause us to modify our schedule. To keep up to date, find us on Facebook  or check the PCA Calendar.

Arrival, Departure, and Pedestrian Safety

Your safety is important to us. Cars are not always alert to pedestrians in the crosswalk near the PCA, especially at night. Use the loading zone in front of the PCA for drop off and pick up. If you park, please use extra care when crossing Lincoln Street. And for the sake of maintaining a good relationship with our neighbors, please arrive and leave quietly.

Get Involved

If you’re interested in performing, just bring your instrument. We have a full sound system, and can mic most anything. Vocalists, if you have backing tracks, we can plug your MP3 player into our system as well.

WTAC needs sound technicians at every event. To be eligible, you must take Rick Posch’s Superior Sound Workshop. See the Music page for upcoming workshops.

Our events are planned and organized by local teens. Parents, want to help out? Simply contact one of our advisors below.
