The event will be held Friday, Nov. 7, at the Keith Anderson Community House, Bennoch Road. Open mic sign-up begins at 6:30 p.m., the show starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $3. A portion of the evening’s proceeds will go toward the Orono Historical Society’s restoration of the Civil War Statue. Both adult and youth performers are welcome, and need not be residents of Orono to participate. All artists are reminded that, whatever genre of music or spoken-word piece they choose to share, they should plan programs that are appropriate for a family audience and that last no more than 10 minutes (two or three short songs or poems). The cafe’s famous root beer floats are free to all who perform on the evening’s program. The OAC is sponsored by the Orono Schools Coalition for the Arts, an organization of parent and community volunteers working to support arts education in schools.
