    Join us for a spoken word and poetry teen open mic event!

    From powerful spoken word pieces to heartfelt love poems, experience the transformative power of words and art and prepare to laugh, cry, and be inspired as you listen to the powerful words of these young writers. Whether it's a personal story, a social commentary, or a metaphorical masterpiece, each piece is a reflection of its unique author.

    Bring your own work to read, or just sit back and listen to young writers and performers share their original works and showcase their creativity. Experience the true magic of a community of artists coming together to support and uplift one another.
