Mission
We are a choir of people who have said “actually” in a whisper and meant it as fortissimo. Repertoire ranges from card-catalog elegies to overdue-notice madrigals.
Volume: stage whisper → passive-aggressive mezzo
Diction: call numbers clear at thirty feet
Upcoming Events
October 2026 — Festival of the Soft Stamp
Rubber stamps as percussion. No actual books harmed.
April 2027 — Overdue Night
Soloists perform notices with feeling.
Membership
Dues: one carefully repaired paperback and a promise not to reshelve other people’s lives without consent.
Folders are manila. Ambition is not.
