10 Acts, 10 minutes each

Life is short, but not too short for the return of one of the area's most rollicking and unique entertainment destinations. The Bloomington Short List is back for a monthly showcase of attention-span challenged talent beginning Oct. 17 at Bloomington Elks Lodge, 400 N. Walnut St. (Note: The date and time are tentative due to IU-Ohio State football concerns that day.)

Mission Statement

Designed to offer as much varied and quality entertainment as possible, The Short List, provides an intimate, friendly, fast-paced presentation of ten, 10-minute acts featuring music, theater, comedy and dancing -- and a whole lot more. Performers will showcase Bloomington’s vast array of established and aspiring talent in an informal live cabaret setting.  The all-ages event will run indefinitely on the third Saturday of the month at Bloomington Elks Lodge #446. Admission is free!

Now, let the fun begin...

Returning to the show for the Oct. 17 opener will be The U-Station Agents as well as ever-dubious Trivia and Dare game-show host, Sketchy Genderson. The other eight acts have yet to be determined. 

Join the party

We appreciate your patience as we dust off this dormant page and our Facebook Page, Bloomington Short List.  In the next few weeks we will provide details about upcoming shows, performers' bio links, programs, pics, etc. So please let us know if you or someone you know might want to join our all-volunteer team, or mosey on up to our cozy stage.  It's just 10 minutes, but who knows, your special act might be just the antidote to get us through these troubled times.  Give us a call or text to (812) 339-2925 for more details.
