Talent ranges from beginner-to-professional. All welcome & needed. Hmm. 🙂 Heart & Soul approximately 10 mins to share 2 mins feedback. Novel Excerpt, Poetry, Lyrics, Short Story, Story Idea, Outline, Dialog Excerpt, Acoustic-Original-Songs only, Speech, a joke or two or three…Expect good, clean, fun, maybe some tears. Bring a friend, bells, whistles, shakers.
Inside Scoop: Supporting local & global artists. Much of the brilliant artwork-paintings you will see are ~ Kate Broderick, one cool and very humble artist-owner. If we are lucky, she will actually be painting somewhere in the room. She is on a roll preparing for an exclusive art exhibit. Mary is her beautiful mom and business partner. Tall, smiling salt & pepper is Papa bear, Rick. They rock-and-roll with gentle-loving American spirit, style, class and grace.
Know that your colorful talents, love, and gratitude are greatly appreciated! Thus, and sowing your $ gratuity $ will go back into the cafe to support the arts & entertainment community at the cafe. God willing, I will be back for more Saturday night Creator Open-Mics and Showcases.
