EVERY MONTH.ALL AGES.
ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS.
ALL BACKGROUNDS.
Share your story, your poetry, or your prose.
Story & Verse provides a warm and welcoming spotlight for both emerging and established artists in our Solley Theater, an intimate space in the heart of Downtown Princeton.
November is Arts & Health Month. A time to celebrate the ways creativity and expression can heal, uplift, and connect us. So this month, we invite you to reflect on the intersection of art and well-being through your words and stories. This month's theme is open. Share what you like!
JOIN US AS A PERFORMER:
- Prepare a story, poem, or spoken word piece up to 5 minutes in length and (at least loosely) related to the theme.
- Arrive by 6:45pm to add your name to the hat. No previous experience or pre-registration necessary.
- Optional: we will record your piece and upload to the Arts Council’s YouTube channel and social media platforms.
JOIN US IN THE AUDIENCE:
- Take the elevator or stairs to the Solley Theater, located on the top floor of our Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.
- Optional: participate from your seat with a Micro Story. Read the printed prompt based on the evening’s theme and respond with a super concise story (just a line or two!) that answers the question. Brass Rabbit will read your story at the mic, as time allows.
- Find a seat and enjoy the performances. We kick off shortly after 7pm.
Questions? Let us know at [email protected]
Held in partnership with Trenton Curator, Story & Verse is free and open to all and hosted by Brass Rabbit.
