Youth poets (aged 12–20) are asked to break one of the classic poetry slam rules. Wear a costume, use props, perform a cover poem, perform a group piece, play a musical instrument or combine all those together. Whatever you do though you must break one of the slam rules. Open sign-up. Be creative, have fun! In addition to the slam, this show will feature youth performing original work inspired by, in response to, and in honour of Zaccheus Jackson Nyce.
This show is All Ages. General seating. Box office and Will Call will open with doors at 7pm. Box office is CASH ONLY. There is an ATM located directly across the street. No advance tickets are available for this show, but festival passes will be accepted.
