On Sunday, April 28th, Musicians on a Mission will host the MONEY, CASH, and DOUGH - OPEN MIC & FOOD DRIVE at the Belmar Arts Center.
Guest hosts will be Kevin Spyker & Jen Clemens.
Kevin and Jen have chosen a great theme “Money, Cash and Dough” for this month’s open mic, which means you should do at least TWO songs that have to do with the theme, plus one more song (cover or original). This means that you will sing at least two songs that have to do with money. We'd love to hear someone tackle, Money Changes Everything by Cyndi Lauper or the Flying Lizards’ version of Money (That’s What I Want). Maybe try, Silver Threads and Golden Needles or Material Girl or Take the Money and Run by the Steve Miller Band. You decide on three good songs and we'll listen. Just keep it at 12 minutes or under!There will be a grand finale song, “Heart of Gold” by the Neil Young for everyone to share at the end of the event. Video with lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFQ1NV3deIE

This play parodies the plays of William Shakespeare with all of them being performed in comically shortened or merged form by only three actors.
An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) was London's longest-running comedy having clocked a very palpable nine years in London's West End at the Criterion Theatre! Join these madcap actors as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies in one wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.
