October Weeknight Slam at X House in Nyack NY -- $75 prize

New this month! We're adding an extra poetry slam each month. This one will take place the 3rd Wednesday of each month at X House in Nyack NY. Our 1st Saturday slam at Round Table in Garnerville NY is also still happening.

What's a poetry slam? It's a performance poetry competition judged by the audience. We use anonymous whole-room voting, so everybody in the audience gets to decide how the slam goes.

If you want to complete in the slam, bring at least 3 original poems, each of duration 5 minutes or less.

Show consists of:

short open mic [4 people max]
a poetry slam limited to 8 folk; the slam'll be 3 rounds with poets eliminated each round
a $5-$10 cover (sliding scale: $10 if you can manage $10, otherwise $5)
prizes: $75 for first place, $25 for second place

Sign-ups and doors open at 6:00 PM; sign-ups close at 6:30 and the show proper starts at about 6:32.

CART captioning is available with sufficient advance notice.
