Hot Times at Old Town

Appearing below are selections from the hard copy Hot Times. The objective is to highlight activities at the School and in the larger community, especially those featuring or of special interest to teachers and staff. Your suggestions are welcome. Enter a comment (under any item); it will come to me rather than automatically appearing.

YOUR audience is just a few steps away

Want a chance to perform outside the Old Town School?

Opportunity awaits, right across the street at the Mad Dog Tavern. Old Town teacher Scott Besaw runs an open mike every Wednesday night and will welcome you to show your stuff! There’s a signup list that he has out starting at 8; you get on the list, and then — depending on how many sign up — you’ll get your turn some time after the show starts, at 9 pm.

If there’s ever a non-threatening performance opportunity, this is it. Scott is there and runs it in the Old Town School style, welcoming, friendly and supportive. And since the Bad Dog is largely patronized by Old Town School students and their friends, you’ll have a receptive setting for your performance. (It doesn’t hurt to bring some of your own friends, of course!)

Hesitant to give this a try? You’re no different than most folks. But most people who do open mikes find out that they love the experience, and want to do it again. The best way to find out for yourself is….stop over some Wednesday, if only to listen!
