GREENWAY Arts Alliance and da' poetry lounge

In addition to its annual season of legitimate theatre, GAA sponsors "Da' Poetry Lounge", cutting-edge open mic poetry and spoken word, held Tuesday nights at GREENWAY Court Theatre.

Begun in 1999, this exciting, standing room only performance is now the largest weekly open mic event in the country, bringing together audiences which cross all ethnic and age boundaries, and providing an important forum for personal expression without criticism or judgment. Once a month, the Lounge holds "slams", or competitions, for prizes, and the opportunity to compete on the Hollywood Slam team both regionally and nationally.
