This Halloween, Sunday School for Sinners is turning Red Light Café into the battleground for Atlanta’s sexiest holy war.
Saints vs. Sinners is an interactive Halloween dance-off packed with burlesque, aerial, fire and specialty variety performances. The Saints and Sinners will battle for glory while the audience chooses sides, casts votes and helps decide who survives the final judgment.
Costumes are strongly encouraged — but eternal commitment to either side is not required. Come dressed heavenly, hellish or somewhere deliciously in between.

It’s time to attend the tale. We promise the drinks are not made of anything except for alcohol and mixers. Definitely no human material in these drinks. No, sir. The pies from Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop are also normal and are definitely not made of anything weird. Even though people keep going missing from Sweeney Todd’s barbershop just upstairs… probably just tired from having so much fun at Acting Under the Influence’s production of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Bartender of Fleet Street!”
Acting Under the Influence combines theatre and drinking (two of our most favorite activities) in a fun and safe environment for performers and audience members alike. The actors are encouraged to drink by tips from the audience. AUI productions have included cabarets, full-length plays, and many other boozy theatrical shenanigans.

"The Spirit Of The Blues" brings together the deep roots of traditional blues, the sophistication of jazz, along with the groove and soul of R&B and Gospel music. At the heart of the project are powerful vocals and the classic sound of the Hammond B3 Organ trio.
"The Spirit of The Blues " is not simply a recreation of these traditions. It is a conversation that comes together as one sound through the language of improvisation, dynamics, and storytelling.

Join us for the Atlanta Songwriters Club Meet Up at Red Light Café every second Monday of the month! $5 at the door, starts at 7:30pm, and you can sign up to play a song if you'd like when you get here.
The Atlanta Songwriters Club is a bit like an open mic with a few key differences. This group exists for songwriter's who would like to interact with other songwriters. It is similar to an open mic, but with the added benefit of discussion. You can come and play a song or just watch and listen. If you'd like to play, you will tell us all if you are interested in receiving feedback on the song or not. If you are interested then after you play we will all discuss what we like about the song, and any suggestions we might have as a group. If you'd rather not have any feedback on the song then you will simply play the song for us. There's no cash prize, competition, or politics. Just songwriting discussions and hopefully new friendships.
If you're a songwriter looking to connect with other songwriters and get some dialogue happening, this group is for you! A club like this allows us to get to know other local songwriters, and learn from one another.
