Coffee House

Cof·fee·House: A restaurant where coffee and other refreshments are served, especially one where people gather for conversation, games, or musical entertainment.

One of the greatest accomplishments of the 21st century would have to be the invention of the coffee house. A place where artists thrive, poets become inspired and performing arts are truly appreciated.

On Wed, Nov. 11, Laurier University residence students gathered in the basement of Grand River Hall to support their peers as they performed at the coffee house.

While sitting in comfy chairs or wrapped in blankets, sipping coffee or tea, and eating the assortments of sweets that were provided by BRC (Brantford Residence Council), residence students enjoyed watching the various talents that their fellow students had in store for them.

The evening began with a comedic BRC skit introducing the coffee house, followed by a moment of silence for Remembrance Day.

Although the night was packed with very talented performances. Some of the highlights included an original poetry reading by second-year Don, Cale McCormick, the Thriller dance performed by two Zombies and a very colourful performance of Don’t stop Believing performed by all of the Dons.

The best part about the coffee house was the fact that students were able to go out and perform in front of a very supportive audience. It is always stressful to get up and perform in from of people, but at the coffee house it is a relaxed environment where everyone is supportive.

Laurier Students can look forward to many other events that BRC is planning, including potentially another coffee house in the New Year.
