Open Mic Night at Deluxe Brewing @ Deluxe Brewing Co.

Open Mic Night at Deluxe Brewing @ Deluxe Brewing Co. | Albany | Oregon | United States
You’re invited to Open Mic Night at Deluxe Brewing in Albany, OR! Join us on the fourth Thursday of each month in 2024 in the Deluxe taproom. This free event is a chance to feature local musicians and performers of all experience levels and talent backgrounds who are looking for a place to perform. Hosted with the aim to provide a relaxed atmosphere for the creative process of our local talent, we ask that all guests be respectful of the space and those who occupy it. Open to all ages, we ask that profanity and content be limited to roughly PG-13 status for the time being.
Sign-up for talent will start ten minutes before showtime at 6:50 PM. Performances will be from 7-9 PM, with acts limited to 15 minutes maximum. For musicians, this averages roughly 3-4 songs, yet music, comedy, poetry, magic, or other quality talent is welcome.
A microphone, amplifier, and cables will be provided. Individuals who require sheet music, instruments or a music stand should bring their own. Talent will be scheduled in order of who signs up with our Open Mic Host, Travis, coordinating the event. There may be the opportunity for second performances once the initial list is completed.
Open Mic Night is free to spectators and performers, though we recommend pairing your entertainment with refreshments from our bar and on-site food cart.
Deluxe Brewing is open to all ages, apart from the immediate bar area and is always pet-friendly. The taproom serves craft beer, house spirit cocktails, cider, wine and soda. The Deluxe Food Cart is also open throughout the event time for dinner orders.

Albany Civic Theater presents: The Prom @ Albany Civic Theater | Albany | Oregon | United States

The Prom
Music by Matthew Sklar
Lyrics by Chad Beguelin
Book by Chad Beguelin & Bob Martin

Directed by: Christi E. Sears and Mirinda Keeling

Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town’s citizens and the result is love that brings them all together. Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, The Prom expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.
