Join us for the March installment of the new season of the Open Mic series in the MCA lobby and art gallery! The March theme is “Magic” — we invite you to think about those special moments that felt like they were orchestrated by the heavens, secret, mystical and unfathomable things hidden in plain sight, magicians, tricksters, wizards and witches, powerful and inexplicable wonders we all encounter in life, even in the most difficult of times. Or perhaps, it’s the magic of simple things in life - nature awakening in the spring after a deep winter slumber; a kiss that can heal our injuries; and our pet’s superpowers of bringing us joy. Who knows what new talents we'll discover this time?
The show will be hosted by a cherished member of our artistic tribe and a tremendous storyteller David Story. We are also very happy to say that this month’s feature will be our long-time participant and a spectacular local band - Three at Home, whose gentle harmonies and engaging performances truly bring out the magic of sound.
The event is general admission, with some tables for sitting, some tables for standing, and maybe even a bit of a dance floor. Sign up to perform or come and enjoy the show on Wednesday, March 19. The doors open at 7:00 PM, and beer, wine, canned cocktails, soft drinks, and snacks will be available for purchase in our MBar throughout the show. Music starts at 7:30 PM!
Important note: Sign-ups open on Saturday, March 1 at 10:00 AM!
