February 28th is not only the day of our Variety Show...It IS the debut of THE BRIGHTON GALLERY "At InSights" hosted by resident artist Tracey Vitkay. After a brief discussion/lecture in the main room of InSights, Tracey will have her artwork on display in the main hall during the Variety Show and be present to discuss the future of The Brighton Gallery. Ms. Vitkay will explain how she will be accepting portfolios from aspiring artists in the coming weeks so that their work will be on display in The Brighton Gallery in the future. Together we plan on giving our youth, or aspiring artists of any age, the chance to succeed in the art form of their choosing. Open Mic Night and The Brighton Gallery promises to be an unbeatable combination!
The line up is pretty much set for the Variety Show. It will be hosted by Tom Harris, an award winning Toastmaster from Okemos, Michigan. Stavey will begin the show as usual, make some basic announcements then turn the show over to Mr. Harris and his troupe. If you remember Ed Sullivan or know of Garrison Keiler, you have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Mr. Harris. We are honored to have a talent of Tom's magnitude running this show and feel strongly this may become another event here in it's own right at The InSights Group.
Currently, Lamocu Productions is in negotiations with the Saline Cable System to possibly tape this show and do a pilot. Yes, a television pilot. Our dream of a "local" Praire Home Companion could be just around the corner. As details get finalized I will let you know. For now, in no particular order, is the line up of entertainers for the 28th:
stand up comedians, music, singers, dancers, dulcimer player, bagpipe player, magician, belly dancers, sketch comedy, guitar players and much much more.
Tickets will be $10 for adults, $5 for students with ID. Be early, seating is limited.
In the next day or so we will have the time of Ms. Vitkay's presentation, donations will be taken at the door for the "art fund". If you plan to stay throughout the Variety Show an admission charge will be requested. Until more information becomes available thanks for reading along and stay tuned.
