[Bibliophilia] Poetry Verse Play: Featuring Amber Flame

Art doesn’t imitate life at this show—art imitates art. First, Hugo House writer-in-residence Amber Flame will share one of her poems. After the reading, the Bibliophilia Players, our team of improvisational actors, having never heard the poem before, will perform a one-act play inspired by the piece.

Doors at 8pm.

This event is sponsored by Word Lit Zine in co-production with Hugo House.
