Anything Goes Cafe

8pm $5

 
Saturday November 16 2019.
Our biannual celebration of performance & chutzpah returns! The Anything Goes Cafe is your chance to get on stage & have a little fun. Each act is asked to limit themselves to 15 mins or 3 songs if you’re doing music.
If you don’t think you have something to offer, we don’t believe you. Here’s a little list we came up with to encourage everyone to get involved. We want a little variety in our variety show. You can help!
To sign up, please email AGC@TheArlington.ca.
8pm start. $5 with $3 going to Bancroft Local Wood Share. If you can’t make it, please consider donating directly. The cold’s a-coming.
