Are you a shy singer-in-the-shower type who’s always had a secret hankering to perform in public?
Now’s your chance to take to the microphone in a friendly and supportive environment.
Save the date for the next Burnaby Neighbourhood House open mic night, coming Thursday, Sept. 6 to the BNH Community Hall at 5024 Rumble St.
The monthly events give performers aged 14 and older a chance to take the mic for 10 minutes to perform original material. Performers can be solos or duets, and any form of performance is welcome – vocal, instrumental, spoken word or poetry, comedy and more. The only caveat is that all material be appropriate for a family audience.
There’s limited space, so performers should start arriving at 6:15 p.m. to register. Open mic spaces run from 7 to 8:30 p.m., and the first seven performers to sign up get guaranteed spots. From 8:30 to 9 p.m., there’s a special guest performance.
The nights are held by donation, with a suggested donation of $4 per person. All proceeds go towards the renovation and upkeep of the BNH Community Hall.
