Sachem’s annual “Haunted Coffeehouse” is this Thursday.
Teens not familiar with a “coffeehouse” concept may be confused by the title and expect some frights. It’s not a haunted house. Instead, the seasonal “coffeehouse” allows the audience to eat and drink while enjoying open-mic style performances by Algonquin students on the small stage.
The students mostly singing and/or play instruments. But past years have also included poetry, improv, or monologues. (An instagram post by Sachem last week encouraged anyone interested in performing to email Mr. Querino @mquerino@nsboro.k12.ma.us.)
The event takes place in the school’s Black Box Theater on October 26 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
Admission is $6 (or $5 if you come in costume). Refreshments are extra. Proceeds support Sachem, Algonquin Regional’s “Literary Magazine”. (The magazine also showcases photography and artwork).
Last year, the school paper, The Harbinger, captured some great photos (here) and a video from the night below:
