the Cafe Gallery 2014 schedule

Below is the upcoming 2014 features schedule at Gallery Cabaret.
If you’d like to feature on one of our unbooked nights, please email us.



open mic in 2013 & 2014 schedule: every other Wednesday nights
from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. (except the 1st & last weeks of the year)
2020 N. Oakley Ave. in Chicago (60647) at Gallery Cabaret
(one block east of Western Avenue and one block north of Armitage)



During nights with no scheduled feature, we will very possibly
have nights where open mic poets will have 10 minute “mini features”.
Because we videotape the open mics every week, mini-feature
will not get individual youtube videos of their mini-feature.
KEEP IN MIND that if someone with no scheduled feature
for the year, checks in with us beforehand wanting an impromptu
feature, we may host a last minute feature as well.
