Never Forgotten | 2016

The WordPlay Cafe is raising the bar and raising awareness once again! Sarasota has NEVER seen a collection of talent like this under one roof, in one spot, at the same time…until now!

“Never Forgotten | 2016” is more than just another night out – this is a night dedicated to those struggling with Alzheimer’s disease and those who have dedicated their lives to taking care of them! This is a night of hope and strength and mutual support in the face of one of the most crippling, and insidious diseases the world over!

Experience the sweeping power of Spoken Word as delivered by some of the brightest points of light in the spoken word community today! Eccentrich, Jamilla D. Brooks and Brian Lee will open your eyes, ears and Hearts! Michael Eliason will allow you to feel through the strings of his guitar and The James Varnado Band will breathe LIFE back into your spirits, lifting you BACK to the place where we can see how this can affect us all – and that it will take all of us to get to the cure!

The Starlite Room has proven itself in the past and remains one of the BEST venues that Sarasota has to offer! Upscale, yet comfortable, this is where you’ll find great food, great service and drink specials to suit your taste and your budget! Admission is $20 and tax-deductible donations are unlimited so, please – let’s do what we can to make a difference!

You can buy your tickets AND/OR make your donations through the TICKETS link shown here below!

Dress to impress and join us as we make the night come to life! Come early and grab some delicious food and a drink! The doors will open at 7pm and the show will kick off promptly at 8pm!

This is a call to any and all local poets – bring your gifts in the house and to the mic and share the experience with us!

And it seems as though the word is out about our new location! The Bombon Restaurant is proving to be a winning combination but, don’t take my word for it…come and see for yourself! The bar will be open, as well as the kitchen so, please…have a drink with that meal!
