The Center for Food Systems and Community Transformation and partners will host The Poetry Cafe addressing the theme of “Planting the Seed” at the Haymarket Theatre located within the Squires Student Center on the campus of Virginia Tech on Wednesdays, February 2, 2022.
Hosted by Mr. Josephus Thompson III, founder of the Poetry Cafe and host of 90.1FM’s The Poetry Café program, come experience the cultural artform of social transformation through creative expression and community weaving.
The Poetry Cafe’s open mics are dynamic and provide a catalyst for community building, a space to share dreams and ambitions, loves and frustrations. Backed by a live band, a phenomenal host and soulful vocals help support participants coming to the stage with poetry, songs, monologs, dances, raps and more.
We anticipate this event will be a powerful outlet for all involved and an opportunity for our community to come together.
Admission is free and no registration required. All are welcome.
Limited open mic slots are available so come early if you want a chance to sign up to share during the show.
All individuals regardless of vaccination status are required to wear a face covering at all times.
