Event Details
Calling all writers! Do you like to write poetry? Do you like to learn about different types of poems? Do you sometimes sit down to write, but then find yourself wondering where to begin? Have you never written poetry before but would like to start?
Then join us at Poetry Plus! We meet on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:00 pm. We alternate topics every week — one week we will focus on crafting a specific poetic form, and the next week we’ll have Freestyle Night where we get a list of different prompts and write whichever ones we’d like in whatever way we choose. We will share our newly written poems throughout the meeting. Can’t make every single meeting? No problem! Each week is different, so if you have to miss here and there, you can still join in and not feel like you’re behind on anything. At the end of each evening, we will take some time for anyone who wants to share something they have written outside of Poetry Plus with the group.

This group will be led by professional live musical theater actor, Jacob Hoffman and a staff member. “Each class, we will spend time celebrating and learning more about America’s greatest invention: Musical Theater.
Participants will explore musicals and their connection to other forms of entertainment. How does the Wizard of Oz influence its modern sibling, The Wiz? How do modern movie musicals borrow from their live counterparts? We will travel from musical theater’s infancy in the 1940s all the way to today’s hits, with fun trivia, guest appearances, and scene study sprinkled in along the way.
Writing exercises, small group sharing, in-session viewings, and Zoom sing-a-longs will make for a time you won’t soon forget!” Jacob

Event Details
Calling all writers! Do you like to write poetry? Do you like to learn about different types of poems? Do you sometimes sit down to write, but then find yourself wondering where to begin? Have you never written poetry before but would like to start?
Then join us at Poetry Plus! We meet on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:00 pm. We alternate topics every week — one week we will focus on crafting a specific poetic form, and the next week we’ll have Freestyle Night where we get a list of different prompts and write whichever ones we’d like in whatever way we choose. We will share our newly written poems throughout the meeting. Can’t make every single meeting? No problem! Each week is different, so if you have to miss here and there, you can still join in and not feel like you’re behind on anything. At the end of each evening, we will take some time for anyone who wants to share something they have written outside of Poetry Plus with the group.

Calling all writers! Do you like to write poetry? Do you like to learn about different types of poems? Do you sometimes sit down to write, but then find yourself wondering where to begin? Have you never written poetry before but would like to start?
Then join us at Poetry Plus! We meet on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:00 pm. We alternate topics every week — one week we will focus on crafting a specific poetic form, and the next week we’ll have Freestyle Night where we get a list of different prompts and write whichever ones we’d like in whatever way we choose. We will share our newly written poems throughout the meeting. Can’t make every single meeting? No problem! Each week is different, so if you have to miss here and there, you can still join in and not feel like you’re behind on anything. At the end of each evening, we will take some time for anyone who wants to share something they have written outside of Poetry Plus with the group.

This group will be led by professional live musical theater actor, Jacob Hoffman and a staff member. “Each class, we will spend time celebrating and learning more about America’s greatest invention: Musical Theater.
Participants will explore musicals and their connection to other forms of entertainment. How does the Wizard of Oz influence its modern sibling, The Wiz? How do modern movie musicals borrow from their live counterparts? We will travel from musical theater’s infancy in the 1940s all the way to today’s hits, with fun trivia, guest appearances, and scene study sprinkled in along the way.
