WHAP! (It’s not as bad as it sounds.)
It’s fun, actually, and it happens at the Frederick
Friends Meetinghouse (723 N. Market St.; Frederick, MD [half a block past 7th
St., on the left]) Every Sunday Evening 7-9 PM.
WHAP! is the Weekly
Happening with Audience Participation:
a free 2 hour helping of entertainment provided by local artists. Mostly music, with some poetry and comedy,
WHAP! is an open mic show (scheduled in advance) featuring 20 minute sets by
great local talent. Anonymous feedback
cards dedicated to each performer (the Audience
Participation part of it) make WHAP!
(in the words of a recent participant) “like ‘American Idol’ without the
humiliation”.
There is NO COVER CHARGE, but tips are appreciated (you
got that right!). Six performers including the host (singer/songwriter
Shortbread) split the tips, with 20 % going to Frederick Friends Meeting for
providing the venue. Free refreshments
are provided and a CD is given away at every show.
All are welcome as either performers or listeners. Write rengawpj@hotmail.com
or call 301-682-4836 for this week’s lineup, to get more information, or if you
would like to perform. Hope to see you
at WHAP!
