Open Mic at the Dietrich, October 26, 2018

The last Open Mic at the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock for 2018 was held tonight.


Original country blues songs, paying tribute to a friend who died young and soldiers who serve far from home.



Ventriloquist Courtland Birchard was back with Joey Jokers. Courtland is 88 years old, and Joey is 71.


At one point the routine became eerily meta, as Joey pointed out to Courtland that in all the years they have been performing, he - Joey - has never actually said a word, and that Courtland has been responsible for everything he has ever spoken.




George Gershwin sung a cappella.


The feature performer was storyteller Hal Pratt.



Open mics return to the Dietrich Theater in March of 2019.
