 opening reception july 15,  8pm -2am

Carnival of Immaru, a solo show by artist Alicia Ruth

A showcase of recent works which have emerged from the atoms, the ether and the light. They exist in a universe overflowing with information - incomprehensible beyond our confounding and confining biological processing abilities. A glimpse at the perpetual pondering of the evolution of the simple into the complex, presented in a multitude of mixed materials and particle collisions on canvas.

Put on your old brown shoes, like dreamers do, hop into my yellow submarine and we'll get a ticket to ride through the octopus's garden and on, across the universe.

Delicious food and drinks available as long as the kitchen and bar are open!

Costumes and weirdness encouraged

The Monologue Slam, poetry slam

 July 8,  8pm till midnight
Grassroots community center
54 Coles street JC

The JC slam opens its curtains to present "THE MONOLOGUE SLAM." Brush off those accents, take out that poem that always sounded more like a story anyway and get your character on for this original monologue challenge. We welcome any non-original monologues as special additions to our pre-show regularly scheduled open mic. Surprise guest judges will be scoring the competitors and our very own Scripted will be gracing us with his ...hosting presence. Doors open at 8 p.m. and sign-up is first come, first perform.

Want to Watch?
You've made an excellent choice. You will be experiencing live performance in a whole new light and it's only a measly $5!

Itching to open mic?
Way to share your gift! We'll be having a mixed open mic before the competition begins. We welcome all of the usual spoken word/music/comedy and urge all the actors in the group to bring out three-minute non-original monologues!

Ready to perform your own monologue?
Awesome! Your time limit is 5 minutes with a 30-second grace period where points will not be deducted. Memorization is encouraged, but not mandatory, and you want to come with two different monologues ready to go. The first round is with 6 competitors and the top 3 will advance to see who gets the gold through bronze.

Fasten your seat belt, it's going to be a bumpy and glorious ride!

There will be a brief open mic before the slam. All are welcome-- poets, musicians, comedians, sword swallowers, you name it!

Cover $5 / $3 Students

**Please bear in mind this is a FUNDRAISING SLAM. All proceeds go towards sending our 2011 representative team to the National Poetry Slam in Boston, Ma this August!**
