“Dark Nights of Winter” Open Mic Nights return to Butte’s Covellite Theater

If there is one bright spot in the days following the return of Daylight Savings Time it is, well, the return of Dark.  Dark Sevier, that is.  Tuesday night at the Covellite Theater, 215 W. Broadway in Uptown Butte, the “Dark Nights of Winter” open mic series begins its second season after an impressive run on the soapbox in the commons last year.  All ages and styles of performance are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Open Mic Night, if you are an aspiring artist, musician, poet or orator, is an event you do not want to miss.  This is the perfect chance to hone your skills in front of an engaged and receptive audience.  Open Mic Night offers just as much to audience members and the event is free to all who wish to attend, although donations are welcome and encouraged.

What can you expect from the Second Season of Dark Nights of Winter?  “Original voices, surprising beginners, occasional moments of confusion, familiar faces and new faces” along with “an above average chance of running into an ex” and “artists battling demons live on stage” according to their ticket link.  It’s all in good fun.  There is no better host than Dark Sevier who, in addition to being a very well-spoken and intelligent gentleman has an acting resume almost as impressive as his 6’9 frame.  But don’t let his size fool you.  You will not find a nicer man or a more welcoming environment for those who want to perform their craft.  There will also be free popcorn, open seating and many beverage choices and, best of all, “shared experiences that will live beyond the moment”.

Dark Nights of Winter will take place from 6pm to 11pm on November 5^th, 12^th, 19^th, and 26^th.  Sign up for their newsletter here and stay up to speed with everything happening.
