🎤 Open Mic Night at Gallery Cabaret! 🎤

The Gallery is where it’s at Thursday Nights!

Got a song, a poem, a joke, or a story you’ve been waiting to share? The stage is yours!

📝 Sign-ups: 7:30 PM
🎙️ Show starts: 8:00 PM

Remember: a mic drop is only cool after your set. Dropping the mic before you perform just means you owe us a new microphone. 😅

Come perform, cheer on your fellow artists, grab a drink, and enjoy a night full of music, laughs, and surprises. Whether you’re taking the stage or just soaking it all in, there’s a spot for you at Gallery Cabaret.

See you tonight!

🎬 Chicago Independent Film Night at Gallery Cabaret 🎬

Join us for a special evening celebrating Chicago independent film with a screening of One Woman Hamlet.

After the screening, stick around for a live Q&A with director Ayesha Abouelazm and actress Kate Smith, where you’ll have the chance to hear about the creative process, the inspiration behind the film, and ask your own questions.

Whether you’re a film lover, a theater fan, or just looking for a unique night out, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience local independent cinema and connect with the artist behind it.

See you at Gallery Cabaret for an evening of great film and even better conversation!

To everyone who came out to our Sunday Open Mic over the years, thank you!

From every performer to every supportive friend and familiar face, you helped make Sundays feel like home and supported a thriving local music community.

We’ve made the decision to retire our Sunday Open Mic.

Going forward, Open Mic nights will be held every Tuesday and Thursday.

We’re excited to keep building a strong community on our other nights. We hope you’ll continue to share your songs, poems, stories, comedy, and creativity with us.

Thank you for the memories! We’ll see you on Tuesdays and Thursdays. ❤️🎤
