July 4 Theme: (Theme: ”PROPS”) August 15 Theme: TBA September 12 Theme: TBA PROPS: What are the objects/things that play a role in our lives and that we act and surround ourselves with? Are they what they seem to be? A prop is an object with which a performer acts and interacts, such as a glass, a book or a weapon. Props are often non-functional, but seem real. A prop that is required to function is a ”practical” prop. A prop can also mean a support: something that props something up. Feel free to bring On the other hand, give props where they are due! You don’t strictly have to follow the theme, it’s to provide a prompt for those who choose. The evenings are open to both first-time performers and experienced artists. Come perform or just listen, and be part of the community. The focus is on sharing, experimentation, risk-taking, and live encounters. We would love to hear your words, whether carefully crafted or spontaneous.
