A Singer’s Open Mic Cabaret at Stookey’s Blue Room!

Bring your jazz and musical theatre charts (up to three different songs, clear, readable and IN YOUR KEY) or your full piano scores. Each singer will get a 5 minute turn at the mic to introduce a song, tell a short story and perform. Everyone in the queue will sing once, then we will cycle through again for a second round.
