Teen Karaoke
At CSz Boise, we believe in the power of a third place—a space beyond home and school where teens can connect, express themselves, and build community. Sociologist Ray Oldenburg described third places as vital for civic engagement, personal growth, and reducing loneliness. From cafes to libraries to theaters, these spaces create a sense of belonging. Unfortunately, the existence of such places that don't require some form of payment or purchase for being there is dwindling.
That’s why we’re hosting Free Teen Karaoke Nights at The Green Room—a welcoming, no-cost space where teens (13-19) can gather, have fun, and be themselves. No pressure, just music, friends, and connection.
FAQ
IS IT FREE?
Yep! No admission, no purchase required—just show up and sing (or hang out).
REALLY? IT'S FREE?
For real. No cap! We cover the costs so teens can have a fun, no-pressure night out. If you're an adult reading this and thinking, "Wow, I love supporting cool things!"—Hi, friend! Email us at cszboise@gmail.com to chat about sponsorship opportunities.
WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN?
First Thursday of every month, 7:00-9:30 PM. If a holiday or event gets in the way, we’ll shift the date—but we won’t cancel unless absolutely necessary.
DO I NEED A TICKET?
Nope! We list some events with tickets for visibility, but Teen Karaoke is "walk-ins welcome". If we ever need tickets because of a packed house… well, that’d be a great problem to have!
WHAT IF I GET HUNGRY/THIRSTY WHEN I SING?
We’ve got snacks! Popcorn, candy, soda—you know, the classics. You can also order food for delivery (just be neat about it). Please don’t bring food from home—we don’t want to play “Does That Tumbler Hold Something Sus?”
DO I HAVE TO SING?
Nope! Come hang out, play a game, craft, or just cheer on your friends. No pressure, just good vibes.
CAN MY OLDER FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER COME?
Yes! Each teen can bring one adult-ish guest (but adults can’t come solo—this is a teen event, not a chaperone convention).
CAN MY YOUNGER FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER COME?
Maybe. Teens can bring one 12-year-old guest. No one under 12—sorry, little dudes, your time will come!
CAN I BRING LOTS OF NON-TEEN PEEPS?
Love the enthusiasm, my friend, but dial it down. Each teen can bring ONE guest - older or younger as explained above.
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
Easy—act like you would in the cool teacher’s class. Keep the language clean, be respectful, and don’t do anything that’d make the “principal” shut us down.
CAN I COME EARLY/STAY LATE?
Before karaoke, we’ll probably be teaching a class. After karaoke, we’ll definitely be tired. If you get here early, please chill quietly in the lobby. If you’re waiting for a ride after, we won’t leave you stranded, but we will yawn loudly and repeatedly while we wait.
WHERE DOES THIS AWESOMENESS HAPPEN?
The Green Room – 5420 W. Franklin Rd, Boise. See you there!
