Most Thursdays during the academic year, join us in the Benjamin Mays Center at 8:00pm for a warm, welcoming coffeehouse-style setting and enjoy a wide array of artists and genres. We work to bring you performances from your favorite artists who have performed at VCS in the past, as well as introduce some new acts to the Bates community. We also host multiple Student Showcases where you can sign up to perform comedy, music, magic, poetry and more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button full-width\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/batesvcs\/\">Follow us on Instagram @BatesVCS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button full-width\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/events\/village-club-series\/studentshowcase\/\">Apply for a Spot in a VCS Student Showcase<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><nav class=\"is-vertical no-wrap wp-block-navigation is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-navigation-is-layout-65472f6b wp-block-navigation-is-layout-flex\" aria-label=\"VCS\"><ul class=\"wp-block-navigation__container is-vertical no-wrap wp-block-navigation\"><li class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/events\/village-club-series\/\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">Upcoming Shows<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/events\/village-club-series\/past-vcs-performers\/\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">Past Performers<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/events\/village-club-series\/studentshowcase\/\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">VCS Student Showcase Application<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/events\/village-club-series\/suggestion\/\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">Artist Suggestion Form<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-navigation-item wp-block-navigation-link\"><a class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__content\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/vcs-crew\/\"><span class=\"wp-block-navigation-item__label\">Meet the VCS Crew<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Village Club Series, or VCS, is a Bates institution since 1993.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":4340,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"bates_author_byline_override":"","_hide_page_title":false,"_header_override":"","_template_width_override":"wide","_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"_sidebarChoice":"","footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"class_list":["post-37","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37"}],"version-history":[{"count":79,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10855,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37\/revisions\/10855"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
