The FHJC Coffee House is an annual event sponsored by Men’s Club in conjunction with FHJC Membership. It offers every segment of the FHJC community a showcase for their performance skills. This almost-open-mic night for all ages attracts an audience of about 200 people.
The program goals are to provide a showcase for performance talent within FHJC and to bring together all generations and constituencies within FHJC. Pricing for the event is kept as low as possible, and children under 12 years of age are admitted free. Cofee, tea, flavored syrups, whipped cream, and soft drinks are included, as are a variety of snacks. Adults may bring their own alcoholic beverages.
Registration for performers takes place 4 months prior to the event, and performers are in contact with the production team throughout the period leading up to performance. Runthrough is 1 to 2 weeks prior to the event. Publicity consists of advertising flyers, blurbs in the weekly FHJC Shabbat Shalom, and notices in the bimonthly Message, as well as notices on the FHJC listserv and bimah announcements and in the free local newspapers.
