Black Box Theater

April is a time for flowers to start blooming. Why not blossom with words that can change you, ground you, lift you up, and more! Let's discuss those feelings.

What did the poet say to Luke Skywalker?
"Metaphors be with you."

She rises from her warm bed
with thoughts of poems in her head.

April is national poetry month!
On four different days this month, a poetry discussion will take place at the Nordlof's Black Box Theatre.

April 3rd 6:00 P.M. - 7:30 P.M. 

April 8th 10:00 A.M. - 11:30 A.M.

April 11th 6:00 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.

April 19th 10:00 A.M. - 11:30 A.M.

  • The Black Box Theatre is in the basement of the Nordlof, just an elevator level down. 
  • This is the perfect atmosphere to get to know and perform Poetry. 
  • Set up like an Open mic, we will go around the room to perform a poem and then discuss it with one another.
  • This can be an original poem or one you've always had a warm feeling over and didn't have anyone to discuss it with.
    OR you can come to just discuss and if it makes you more comfortable, the leader can read aloud the poem as well. 
  • Tea will be provided. Poems will be provided as well.
  • A small poetry craft will take place at the very end of the discussion.

Get a better understanding of the art of Poetry. 

Get the Tea on poetry.
