Always

offering an eclectic mix of local and regional

performers, the next Stars on the Southern Crescent

coffeehouse, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 26, may be the

biggest and brightest one yet.

The

coffeehouse is chock full of entertainment from

storytellers and folk musicians to sketch comedy from

some up-and-coming local comedians.

The

storytellers that will be present at the coffee house are

Tersi Bendiburg and Sarah Monsour. Bendiburg is a

Cuban-born storyteller whose tales draw on memories of

Cuba and the myths and legends of several cultures. She

has performed at the coffee house several times and is

well known on the story-telling circuit.

Bendiburg

brings a relative newcomer with her in Sarah Monsour.

Monsour will entertain the audience with stories of

growing up in a small Southern town as well as stories

based on her extensive travels.

The musical

portion of the evening will be provided by Ensemble pour

deux, which consists of Kaylynn Davis playing harp and

Barbara Hood, who has previously performed vocally and on

piano at Stars, playing violin and viola. Ensemble pur

deux boasts a broad and eclectic repertory, focusing on

folk music and more. The group is well known and

respected locally, performing at a number of events in

the spring and summer.

As for the

comedy, Mike Boylan brings his comedy troupe, Creatures

of Habit, and their wild style of humor to the stage.

Made up of himself, several local high school students

and his stepbrother, Creatures of Habit has begun to

build a following around town. They will perform the

"Fifteen Minutes of Fame Spectacular" at the

coffeehouse as a warm up for a very busy spring season.

The Stars

on the Southern Crescent Coffeehouse will be presented

Saturday, Feb. 26 at National Heights Baptist Church. The

doors will open at 7:45 p.m. and the show will begin at

8:15 p.m. Admission is $6 for the general public and $4

for seniors and children under 12.

A variety

of desserts and hot and cold drinks will be available.
