The Slam Poetry Club, Forensics Club and Literary Magazine are holding an Open Mic Night on April 24, 2017.

According to Slam Poetry Club President Lauren Hassan, students will get a chance to show their artistic and literary skill on this night.

“People will read poetry, perform spoken word poems and sing acoustic songs,” Hassan said.

According to Hassan, the goal of the Open Mic Night is “to encourage more people to join the clubs” and provide support for the arts.

“The arts are losing their popularity among young people and we’re trying to remind them how awesome writing, music, art and literature are,” Hassan said.

Everyone is encouraged to bring their talents to the stage and perform.

“Even if you’re not planning to perform, everyone is encouraged to come support their friends and watch the performances,” Hassan said.

Students who are interested in participating can reserve a spot by emailing a poem, lyrics or monologue to Mrs. Dempsey with their name, grade and a copy of the piece by April 7th.
