Coffee House
Wednesday, September 23rd at 6:30 p.m.
Our theme will be "September Reboot," moving on from summer mode and getting back to work. And getting back to one another, to music, creativity, storytelling, poetry and so many possibilities. Do you have a favorite song, poem, or story about September? Please bring them all to our open mic! Coffee, other drinks, and goodies, as always!
Please join us and bring a friend! All are welcome!" Have a poem to recite, a song to play or present or just sing, a story to tell? We'd love to hear it! "Two Song Stories” A shorter take on the "Three Song Stories” program on WGCU three-song-stories. Bring two songs that are meaningful to you. Tell us why you like it, or why it grabs you, makes you want to cry, dance, etc. There can be a discussion afterwards if you like. Should take 10 to15 minutes unless you really stir up the audience. If one of your songs is longer than five minutes, make it a one song story. Go to link for two-song-story protocol, click here for protocol. If you would like to participate in an upcoming Coffee House, please email Jack Gorski at CH@uunaples.org
