Whisper & Shout - Contemporary Art Center

02/17/11 07:00PM - 09:00PM

The Contemporary Art Center introduces a new host and focus for our monthly open mic poetry event, now called Whisper & Shout.  Starting in March, the montly event will be held on the 1st Thurday of each month.  Each night, the open mic will feature a popular regionally known poet, but everyone is welcome to share his or he work.  The audience will experience more than just readings; these are soul-baring performances.  Each month, there will be a theme to inspire local poets, but anyone can read what they wish.  The smooth and passionate new host is Brandon Thorton who goes by Xplicit.  This former math teacher hosts and promotes 5 different poetry shows.  Spoken Acid, his 3rd CD, has received excellent reviews.
