FALMOUTH, MA - “Peace” will be the suggested theme for the next installment of Falmouth Community Television’s series of virtual monthly open mic nights on Thursday, January 27th, at 7:00 pm. Titled “Poetic License”, the Zoom event offers participants the opportunity to stay connected with their voices. The host for this event will be Falmouth poet and jazz vocalist, Donna Scheer. Performers are invited to participate and share their original poetry, story, comedy, spoken word, or solo acoustic musical performance in a four-minute time slot. Participants must pre-register by December 26th by emailing Anthony Sadera, Communications Manager, at tony@fctv.org. Once registered, the participants will receive login information and additional suggestions for participating in a Zoom conference. Registrants will need access to a computer with internet access, webcam, and microphone, or utilize a smartphone with the Zoom application installed. The event will be recorded and shown on FCTV Public Channel 13 and the FCTV YouTube Channel at a later date.
