Summer Break? Not for Speak Easy!

Scott Seifritz Uncategorized

When there’s so much good writing in the area, we hate to miss any of it. So, we decided not to take the summer off. This past Sunday proved we made the right decision, as two new readers and seven old favorites took to the Speak Easy stage and delighted the Cheshire crowd with a mix of poetry and prose.

Next Up: It’ll be another open-topic Speak Easy on Sunday, August 12, featuring nine more great local writers. Get your tickets now before they’re gone!

Check out pictures from the day, below, and be sure to sign up for our mailing list to keep up with all the latest Rochester Spoken Word news!

Where I Was from Bids Goodbye to All That — Nadia Ghent
