Hilarity guaranteed!
October brings us a new chance to beat the Autumn chill with a scintillating showcase of spontaneity brought to us by bostin’ wordsmiths of local repute. This includes the superabundance of mirth from our feature artiste, Willis the Poet.
Come one, come all and enjoy the evening either as an audience member or as one of the performers in the Lamp theatre space at Brownhills Community Centre. Should you have an inclination to perform your own works, let us know via Facebook or email - spoke@albarz.uk
7:30 to 10:00 pm - please do book in advance for a performance slot and/or a seat at a table, cabaret style, to view and listen.
