LAST THURSDAY
It's YOUR Turn!
An exciting unplugged open mike has been launched for high school and college age students at the Two Way Street Coffee House, 1047 Curtiss Street in downtown Downers Grove.
LAST THURSDAY offers an opportunity for creative expression. Music, poetry, and other performance arts are welcomed at this monthly event. It's a great chance to share ideas and perform in one of the best acoustic venues in the Chicago area.
The Two Way Street crowd listens intently to introspective poetry, enjoys singer-songwriters, and rocks to some blazing guitar riffs!
LAST THURSDAY happens on the last Thursday of every month. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for signups, which are first come, first served. Performances are from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m.
Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. To perform, sign up on the sheet posted inside — first come, first served.
We have a house sound system and several mikes will be waiting on the stage. (We have DI's too — direct inputs for instruments if you want to plug in.) At 7:30, we'll introduce the first performer on the sign-up sheet, and then continue down the list.
You can perform 1-3 songs, some poems, a prose reading, mime, comedy sketch, dramatic scene — any performance art. Just limit it to no more than 10 minutes. If you need less time, that's cool too!
If there's time left after everyone's had a chance, we may invite you to do another set. Or maybe you've met new friends and want to jam onstage a while. We're pretty informal...anything can happen!
The Two Way Street is a small place, and this series is not really intended for full bands. Solos and small groups of two or three work best.
We welcome any instruments (or other stuff) that can be set up quickly. Guitar, sax, keyboard, bass, bongos, congas, kazoo, bagpipes — all cool. Small amps are OK and light percussion; but please, no full drum kits — we don't have space or setup time. We have a grand piano.
We encourage your suggestions. If you have ideas on how to make LAST THURSDAY better, tell us!
Bring your friends! It's nice to have a friendly crowd to cheer your show. Refreshments are available: coffee, tea, soda, cider, cocoa, and snacks.
