<li>Limit your talk time to the minimum and know your song lengths so you won’t run long</li>
<li>Your two songs and 10 minutes is your total time on stage…</li>
</ul>
“I think open mic helps promote music in the community as part of the
 effort to promote all forms of art, Bob said. “It offers a chance for 
folks to gather and play music as well as develop new musical 
friendships. We try to foster our open mics as an opportunity for 
beginners, intermediates, as well as advanced performers to play. Young 
and old and all in between are welcome. “
Bob said the Historic Issaquah Train Depot is the perfect venue. “It 
has great ambience and allows us to focus exclusively on promoting music
 and musical friendships.”

Village Theatre

It’s the jukebox musical nobody asked for! First there was Mamma Mia!, then Jersey Boys, then Beautiful: The Carole King Musical—and now, at last, there’s We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up, the bio-musical that charts the fictional lives of the most famous folk duo that never existed, chock full of the absolute best songs from their completely fictional catalogue.&nbsp; 
From their earliest days performing Christian folk through an unforgettably muddy performance at Woodstock to their hysterically misguided children’s television show, Saul Hymon and Bart Parfunkel have lived (and sung!) through it all. Expect an evening of ear-to-ear smiles and belly-laughs as Hymon and Parfunkel—in tour-de-force performances by writers Gregg Hammer and Louis Pardo—satirically skewer the jukebox musical while playing every role (and every instrument!) in this brand-new feel-good buddy show.&nbsp; 
Will the perfect fictional folk duo find superstardom, or will they break up? You’ll have to come see to find out!
