Our October Open Stage/Open Circle will be on Thursday, 10/23 (the 4th Thursday, as usual), starting at 7:30pm. If you want to get on the Open Stage list, please try to come by 7:15. Doors open at 7:00; feel free to bring some dinner with you (no alcohol please).
The Open Stage is a chance to perform on a stage with a sound system (a maximum of 2 songs/poems/stories/pieces, and a maximum total time of 10 minutes, including intros/talking, setup, and clearing off the stage). It starts at 7:30, and lasts about an hour and a half. The Folk Factory's motto is "music and progressive social change", but "open" means "open", so anything is possible!
After we take a break, the more informal Open Circle starts. We form a circle and go around, giving everyone a chance to sing/perform a song/poem/story/etc. For your turn, you can also request someone else to do a song, ask if anyone can lead a certain song, take a rain check (to have more time to think of something), or pass. People tend to do participatory songs (where others can sing or play percussion or whatever), but it's also a supportive environment for trying out a new song, and non-participatory songs are fine too (just say so if you prefer people to not participate).
The requested donation (in person) is $2-5, sliding scale - whatever you can afford is gratefully accepted.
