[Sahand Sahebdivani]

Dear friends,

Hope you're doing well! Have a look at the stuff that we're doing this week and the next. Also, there's a Q&A at the end you might want to look at.

Tuesday (Tomorrow) Feb 17th / A Night with Lolu and Gerry

Lolu Ajayi is a Boom Chicago cast member. For the Mezrab he's teaming up again with Gerry van der Laan to form the House of Mangoes. No idea what that is? Only musical improv comedy at its finest!

Doors open at 19.00, improv comedy show starts at 20.00. Mom makes soup. € 5,-

Friday Feb 20th / Storytelling Night (English)

Our last storytelling night in the downstairs. The night that needs no introduction. It's simply story in all its forms. Come with ears to listen and/or a mouth to tell.

Doors open at 19.00, event starts at 20.00. Entrance is donation based (pay what you can/want). Mom makes soup.

Saturday Feb 21st / Impro Jam

Once a month the Mezrab is the place for experimental jazz. Music at the outer spaces of skill and understanding. The night opens with an invited group, after which anyone with an instrument can join. Intruments can be violins, tambourines, your own voice, a pink plastic giraffe, etc.

Doors open at 19.30 / event starts at 20.00 / Mom makes soup / € 3,-

Monday Feb 23rd / Nude Model Drawing Session

We bring the model, you bring your equipment, together we make the good stuff happen. All levels welcome.

Doors open at 19.00 / Drawing starts at 19.30 / € 6,-

Friday Feb 27th / Themeprov

Themeprov is the night where a cast that's specifically put together for this night does some high quality improv theater. All based on a theme we provide. This is the night to see some of Amsterdam's finest in action!

Doors open at 19.00 / Improv starts at 20.00 (don't be late!) / Mom makes soup

Entrance = whatever you think a night of fun is worth.

Ok, we're done with the schedule, here's some burning questions you had that we thought we'd answer:

Q: How's the crowdfunding campaign going to move the Mezrab to a bigger space?

A: Swell! We're on 77% with 12 days to go. However, we still need your help and that of your friends to cover that last 23% Donate here:

Q: But is it certain yet that you will go to the new space?

A: Yes! When we hit the 50% mark we decided to go ahead and make the agreement. However, if we don't hit the 100% mark we might need to borrow extra money to make that happen. And since banks hate storytelling it might be with the type of people who do crazy things like pop you in the knees if you don't pay back. But hey, you don't need functioning knees to be a storyteller right? Hmmm... just help us reach the 100% mark.

Q: Have you had a look at your website? Do you think people can take you seriously with such a website?

A: Well, have you had a look at our website recently? As of today we're building a new one, and even though it's not finished yet, its looking fancaaay... yes. I meant to spell it like that.

Well, that's it, hope to see you at one of the events (seriously, come tomorrow, Lolu is superb).
