Call for Contestants for the Outspoken Word Competition
Outspoken Word Competition—to be held Saturday, September 12 @ 7:30 pm at Magnolia Arts Center

We look forward to hearing you – or seeing you – at our first spoken word event. Newcomer to this type of entertainment? Welcome! Experienced at this type of entertainment? Welcome! Something on your mind that you need to express? This is the event for you. OUTSPOKEN is a mix of slam poetry and storytelling. There is no specific theme for this event. Each speaker can perform two pieces. Each piece can last up to four minutes. No subject is off-limits. Language will not be monitored. Topics can range from serious to comedic. If you’re not certain what constitutes slam poetry, please look at some examples on YouTube. $100 goes to the top participant – as judged by several guests.

All ages are welcome.

Contact Kim Turnage at kturnage46@yahoo.com for more info and to register for the competition.

Sign-Up Deadline: September 5

September 17-20 and 24-26: 12 Angry Men

Director: Dr. Dorothea Handron

It is 1957, and twelve men have been led into a jury room to decide the verdict in the case of a young man accused of killing his father and who faces the death penalty if found guilty. They gather around a long table to begin discussions about the case. After a preliminary vote, all but one of the jurors presume he is guilty. Because they must come to a unanimous decision, debates begin. Most of the men are upset and very vocal about the dissenting vote. They heatedly discuss the known facts of the case, and little by little, the personalities, opinions, and biases of each juror become evident. A gripping story that questions ideas of justice, bias, and how our lives shape our beliefs.
