the Cafe Gallery 2015 schedule

Below is the 2015 features schedule at the Gallery Cabaret.



open mic in 2013 - 2015 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)



Up to two features can be reserved on any open mic night.

If a Wednesday night open mic falls on the LAST Wednesday
of the month, the event MAY be moved from 7-9PM to 9-11PM.



During nights with no scheduled feature, we will very possibly have nights
where open mic poets will have 10 minute “mini features”. Since 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 asks beforehand wanting a feature, we may host a last minute feature.
