SUMMARY:"A Walk in the Woo" - Worcester's 2022 Rain Poets Read
DESCRIPTION:The Worcester County Poetry Association is pleased to organize this reading of Worcester's 2022 Rain Poets. For two years now\, the WCPA has selected the poems of thirteen different Worcester-area poets to paint around the city using hydrophobic paint – that's right\, these poems only show up when the concrete around them is wet\, hence the Rain Poets. These poems will come to speak this April 23\, given voice by their poets. We hope you'll join us and consider submitting a poem for this year's project! \nThe Worcester PopUp at the JMAC is a free-to-use\, creative co-working space of the Worcester Cultural Coalition and in partnership with The Barr Foundation. This event does not necessarily reflect the views of either organization.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Writing Workshop with Susan Roney-O'Brien (April)
DESCRIPTION:This virtual poetry workshop is a vehicle for critique\, a time of close reading and thoughtful responses that help craft the written word so that it says exactly what the author intends. The focus is the work itself. Poets are respectful of each other\, value the craft\, understand the courage it takes to have work critiqued\, and make the final decisions about their own writing. Please join us.  \nWriting prompts will be shared with registrants one week before the workshop via a shared Google Document\, and we request you submit your work at least three days before the workshop to give attendees time to read your poem. The link to the Google Document can be found in the confirmation email when you register.  \nSusan Roney-O’Brien earned her MFA at Warren Wilson College and is the author of five poetry collections. She hosts monthly poetry readings\, teaches workshops and coordinates the Stanley Kunitz summer writing series.

SUMMARY:The Crucible
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place at the Jean McDonough Arts Center BrickBox Theatre\, 20 Franklin St\, Worcester\, MA 01608​ \nTHT Rep presents\nAn Experimental Staged Reading of The Crucible\,\nby Arthur Miller \n2 1/2 Hr Staged Reading + Optional 30 Min Community Dialogue \nAn Experimental Staged Reading Directed by Livy Scanlon Featuring an All-Female Cast. \nWidely considered one of the greatest American plays ever written\, The Crucible dramatizes the Salem\, MA witch trials of the late 1600s. Miller originally wrote the piece in response to the McCarthy-era communist “witch hunt” that gripped the United States in the 1950s. \nTHT Rep Artistic Director Livy Scanlon is curious to see how the play’s themes of misogyny\, hate and fear mongering\, religious extremism and persecution against women resonate in today’s world when an all-female cast plays both the womens’ and mens’ roles. Join us for a staged reading to explore this concept\, ask questions and give your feedback at an optional post-reading community dialogue. \nTiered tickets from $8-$110. Click here to learn more about our tiered ticket pricing.\nPlease contact the box office at 877.571.SHOW (7469) for more information.
