This is the audition for the Sunday night slot at the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge.
The Green Mill is an historic venue, a jazz Mecca and a full night of poetry….well
hard to see how that would fly.
Marc Smith collected a troupe, mainly from the "Get Me High.Lounge” in Bucktown.
This particular Sunday at the "Deja Vu" was the flashpoint.
We passed the audition.
The Uptown Poetry Slam ran continuously at the Mill until 2020 then returned in 2022
Still going strong.
The original program opens the show.
Marc Smith, John Sheehan, Ron Gillette, Mike Barrett, Dave Cooper, Nancy Oparka, Mary Jo Marchnight, Jean Howard, Rob and Joe Van Tuyle, Jr.
