Curtain Call Open Mic - Presented by Capital Cabaret

Curtain Call Monthly Open Mic, Presented by

Our monthly cabaret open mic is a great way for singers to put themselves in front of a supportive crowd to gain confidence and learn technique by watching other singers.

Our open mics are hosted by seasoned performers and established accompanists in the Capital Region. Singers should prepare up to two songs with music charts or sheet music in the correct key. We are unable to connect media players for our open mic. Our accompanists do have iPads so you are welcome to bring digital sheet music that you can send them.

Don't want to sing? No problem! Come support our singers and have a nice meal at Barrel House Cafe & Bar while you listen to all the amazing talent!

Open Mic manners
It's pretty simple, really. Just follow these guidelines and you'll be golden!

• Keep patter/introductions succinct.

• Socialize and converse between – not during – performances.

• Have sheet music in the correct key in hand before you are called up to sing. We cannot connect phones or digital music players. You must have sheet music or a pdf of sheet music for the accompanist.

• Keep instructions to the accompanist brief.

• Please be kind and stay to listen to your fellow singers

Cost

There is no cost to the singers - Zip. Zilch. Zero. So why not come on down and show us what you've got?

Our accompanists are paid by the generous donations that we receive! You can make a tax-deductible donation to Capital Cabaret to help us continue our amazing mission of creating these safe and fun spaces for emerging artists!

Info: Sign-up to sing using any clipboards and have a chance to speak with our accompanist in advance. Come early and have time for some amazing food and drink from Parlour Victoria.

Info: Our amazing hosts will curate our singers into a lineup. The amount of singers will determine how many songs can be sung but we always recommend having 2 ready. Singers must bring sheet music for the piano in their chosen key. The sheet music can be a paper copy or have a PDF copy of the music to be sent to the accompanist iPad.
