Want to share a theater piece you’re writing? Join us for the 1st Sunday monthly Playwright’s Jams! A monthly meetup hosted by Caffe Lena for local writers\, actors & directors The First Sunday of the Month 1:30pm- 4:00pm Doors open at 1:00; Casting begins at 1:15pm and Readings start at 1:30pm! Bring your great ideas\, your new scripts\, your edits and your friends for an inspiring afternoon fo theater in the making. Playwrights should bring a highlighted script for each of their actors and one extra for stage directionsBring a short scene (7-8 minutes). Cast your actors from the audience\, including your fellow playwrights. Give them brief directions and then put them on stage to read your script. We’ll go around the room after the reading and let everyone give a “popcorn” reaction (one word!).Each meeting will include 6 or 7 scenes selected at random from those submitted. After the readings we’ll have time to hang out and get acquainted. This event will be co-hosted by Michael Wells-Oakes and Vivian NesbittPlaywright Nice! We foster a diverse community that has a great time making art and helping one another get better. Excessive profanity\, explicit sexual themes and “humor” that unkindly targets a specific group undermines this goal. It is up to the discretion of the host to enforce the house standards. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Similar Events\n \n View All URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/playwrights-jam-6/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Class ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Playwright39s-Jam-graphic-940-x-470-px-5.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251005T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251005T210000 DTSTAMP:20260525T004228 CREATED:20250804T203955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251002T153757Z UID:10003921-1759690800-1759698000@www.caffelena.org SUMMARY:Momentum Series: Eileen Ivers & The Brigideens DESCRIPTION:  \n\n \n Share:\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Brigideens: A Fiery New Force in Acoustic Roots Music Get ready for a night of powerful\, resonant\, emotional songs with The Brigideens—a bold new acoustic roots band formed and led by Grammy-winning\, Emmy-nominated\, 9-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion Eileen Ivers.

Their debut EP\, The First Sessions – Live in Studio\, arrives later this year\, but you can experience the magic live\, right here at Caffè Lena. SAMPLE SONG As Stone Mountain Arts Center’s Carol Noonan puts it: "Soaring vocals and equally stellar playing—a gal power band you don’t want to miss . . . the crowd went wild for them!" Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Enjoy one week of access with your live stream ticket. The Momentum Series features high energy music–solo or band. These are typically more shows that infuse the room with crackling energy rather than featuring solo acoustic performers. Many\, but not all\, of the monthly Momentum artists are playing our venue for the first time. The Momentum Series is Made possible by the generous support of Joseph & Luann Conlon\, in honor of Thom O'Neil. Note: Caffe Lena does not permit ticket reselling above face value. Tickets purchased for the purpose of resale may be canceled without notice\, and refunds for such purchases will not be granted.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Similar Events\n \n View All URL:https://www.caffelena.org/event/momentum-series-eileen-ivers-the-brigideens/ LOCATION:Caffè Lena\, 47 Phila Street\, Saratoga Springs\, NY\, 12866\, United States CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.caffelena.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/image-20.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
