The 20th Crossroads & Friends Coffee House and Talent Show will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 1, at Lane Family Hall on the campus of Valley Presbyterian Church, 945 Portola Road in Portola Valley.
The musical and comedy show will feature local singers, musicians, comedians, mime artists and others. The show will be modeled on “Prairie Home Companion,” the Garrison Keillor radio show.
Local bluegrass ensemble Steep Ravine will headline the show. The band of locally based musicians, includes mandolin player Andy O’Brien, a 2007 graduate of Menlo-Atherton High School.
Crossroads Coffee House was first staged in 1994 as a going-away party for the pastors, Mark and Cheryl Goodman-Morris, who were taking their first summer sabbatical. “We had so much fun, we decided that we would say goodbye to them at the beginning of every summer, whether they were leaving town or not,” said event emcee Chris Preimesberger, founding member of the Crossroads folk group that hosted the first show and still runs the event today.
The Goodman-Morrises will perform a mime sketch in this year’s show. Mark Goodman-Morris has a college degree in mime.
Desserts and coffee will be served. Admission is free; donations will be accepted.
