Yellow Barn Presents Emergent Arts Flint Fundraiser, STAGE TIME

On February 7, Emergent Arts' newest Sunday night show at The Yellow Barn, "Stage Time", will be teaming with Emergent Arts' Unclub to present some of the best and brightest comedians the state has to offer. National headliners Andy Beningo, Norm Stulz Sr., and Mark Sweetman will join a talented cast of funny, and socially involved comics donating their services to help the people of Flint, Michigan. William Bennett and Friends will be house band for the evening.

"Stage Time" is 8:00 pm on Sunday February 7, followed at 9:30 pm by Emergent Arts' own UNclub Open Mic. Tickets to "Stage Time"at 8 pm are $10 at the door or on-line at www.emergentarts.com. UNclub Open Mic at 9:30 admission is by suggested $5 donation at the venue.

Every year Emergent Arts and the UnClub have defied the norm and presented a show on Super Bowl Sunday. This year is no different.

What is different this year is that all profits from our Super Bowl Sunday shows will go to the Comics for Flint campaign #ComicsForFlint, which is raising money and delivering bottled water to social service agencies dealing with the Flint water fiasco, and The Flint Child Health and Development Fund, which cares long-term for the welfare of Flint's children.
