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. 

Mission Statement

Designed to offer as much diverse and quality entertainment as possible, The Short List, provides an intimate, friendly, fast-paced presentation of ten,10-minute acts featuring music, theater, comedy, 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!

Let Us Play

It's all a stage, so come on up and play, yeah, we'll put on a show
We'll act insane to entertain, 'cause that's how it was wrote.

And if our team don't win, we'll drown our tears in gin
And pretend like we don't know
But in the end we'll all be good friends, 'cause that's how it was wrote

Yeah, everything's OK 'cause all the world's a stage and now we get to play
Yeah, everything's OK 'cause all the world's a stage, so now, let us play
Let us play.
