ABOUT THE OPEN DOOR

The Open Door is an entertainment event held once a month in the function hall at Smith church, downtown Hillsborough (the church with the clock in the steeple). There’s lots of free parking and the doors open by 6:30pm. People bring goodies to share and we provide decaf coffee and decaf tea, ice water, and hot cocoa and, of course, the exciting entertainment. Admission is FREE, although donations are gratefully accepted to help us off-set costs. The Open Door entertainment is local and outstanding, and we always brag that our audience is The Best!! The warm and welcoming atmosphere, our wonderful audience and great performers will keep you coming back month after month.

THE OPEN DOOR IS THIS FRIDAY, MAY 3rd!

Just Desserts has been hard at work polishing up the songs on our set list and planning the evening.  We are expecting (hoping?) there will be lots and lots of people attending this Open Door, so would you please plan to bring a snack item for the refreshments table? Cookies, brownies, chips - any such item a person can neatly eat with his/her hand (not cake or pie, for example) would be very much appreciated!
 
We made some significant changes to the usual format, partly to save time and partly because it makes sense to us.  Here's the evening's line-up:

7pm-7:15pm Heidi Welch

7:15-7:30pm Phil Duke

7:30-7:45pm Michael Leacher

7:45-8:15pm FEATURE: Toni Spiegel and Friends

8:15-8:30pm Fred Sprague

8:30-8:45pm Decatur Creek

8:45-9:15pm Just Desserts
 
As The Feature, I’ll be singing Sarah McLachlan’s Angel and The Stones’ Wild Horses, each accompanied by Sharon Dowling on Celtic harp; Faith Hill’s Breathe and Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide with JP Stohrer on guitar; Martina McBride’s Anyway and In My Daughters Eyes with Barbara Daley's keyboard accompaniment; and Rick & I will end my set with Sugarland’s Stay.
 
Just Desserts is going on last because, this being our last coffee house as its house band, we thought it would be fitting for us to do the finale.  And who would want to take the stage after us, under these circumstances?
 
Remember, this is not the end of The Open Door!  It will continue come September and JP & Pam have some interesting things in mind to keep you entertained. You'll want to come back to Smith church this fall to find out what's happening with your coffee house.
 
So, gather your friends and your snacks to share, and get on down to The Open Door, a Community Coffee House, this Friday, May 3rd, for the last Open Door of this season and the very last performance anywhere by Just Desserts.  We are all looking forward to seeing you there.
