Muses are a sisterhood of goddesses or spirits, their number set at nine by Classical times,
who embody the arts and inspire the creation process with their graces through remembered and improvised song and stage,
writing, traditional music, and dance. Not only are the Muses explicitly used in modern English to refer to an inspiration,
as when one cites his/her own artistic muse, but they are also implicit in the words "amuse" or "musing upon". *
Cafe MUSE offers Free Entertainment...
And a rotating Art Gallery featuring artwork by local artists.
Our Featured Artist for July is DYLAN BRODY.
Cafe MUSE will host an Art Opening Reception on Sunday, July 11th, 7:00-9:00pm.
Dylan Brody is an award winning playwright, a thrice-published author, a humorist, a raconteur and husband.
This showing, his first in the Los Angeles area, includes pen and ink works produced over the past year
or so as he has begun to explore the visual arts as a way of expressing the same sense of whimsy
and intellectual wit that comes through in his spoken-word performances and his prose.
Outside the Lines by Dylan Brody

Comedy with Mark Christopher Lawrence
The First Friday of Every Month
Mark Christopher Lawrence is one of Hollywood’s most sought-after character actors. In addition to displaying a variety of theatrical skills, this diverse actor also excels as a producer, a vocalist, and an accomplished stand-up comedian. Best known for his role of Mix Master Tone Def, in the cult classic “Fear of a Black Hat,” Lawrence utilized his creative talents as a character actor and besieged audiences in this comical spoof based on “This is Spinal Tap,” about a Gangsta Rap group named N.W.H. Most recently, Lawrence’s talents can be seen in “The Pursuit of Happyness,” alongside Will Smith and on NBC as Big Mike on the hit comedy CHUCK.
Thursday, July 8th, 9:00pm
Celia Chavez & Friends
Come enjoy a casual, intimate evening with Celia Chavez, who will perform original songs and invite some special surprise guests to sit in! The Seattle Times called Celia Chavez "One of Seattle's most tantalizing new voices." Her songs fuse Americana-flavored cinematic exposition and wit with a melodic, harmonic, and lyric vocabulary reminiscent of classic pop songs or American songbook standards. Her songs carry a contemporary timelessness - standards for a modern era, delivered in a vibrant, assertive new voice.
