CALL FOR POETS!
Black Sheep Theatre and
St. Fortune Productions
set to host poetry slam!
It works like this:
Preliminary ROUND 1: All poets participate in a 2 minute, memorized, original piece. Each poem performed is assigned a score by a group of three judges and the top seven poets move to the Final.
ROUND 2: In Round 2, the top 7 battle it out for the spot of number one. Each poet will perform two, two minute memorized pieces which will be scored by a group of three judges.
THE WINNER RECEIVES: $100.00, publication in the Black Sheep Newsletter and in the St. Fortune Productions publication, THE LIVINGROOM as well as season tickets to St. Fortune Productions programming.
The runners up receive their choice of tickets to one St. Fortune show as well.
Think you have what it takes?
Come on down to Black Sheep Theatre, located in the Village Gate, 274 North Goodman Street Rochester, NY 14607 on February 16th (7 PM) for Preliminary Rounds and February 20th (8 PM) for Finals.
All contestants MUST participate in Preliminary Rounds to be considered for Finals. There is a $10.00 per contestant registration fee as well as a consent form for all contestants under the age of 18.
Remember: This is a traditional slam, no music, no costumes, no props. Just a microphone and whatever beat you bring! Teams are welcome but must be under 5 members and ALL contestants must be 16 and over. We will be joined during the final round by the Intangible Collective, a slam team from New York City who will be hosting the event.

Comments: Black Sheep Theatre's production was a thoroughly enjoyable evening of Oscar Wilde's play of "The Importance of Being Earnest". This production is a must see if you love Oscar Wilde and some very entertaining actors plying their craft effectively. Diane Mashia did a very good job directing this well loved classic.
