We Can be Heroes: September’s Play Pen

The Write Room presents an evening of Poetry, Prose and Music entitled The Play Pen the first Wednesday of every month.

September’s Play Pen is scheduled for Wednesday September 2, 2009 and is dedicated to controversial writing (in celebration of the American Library Association’s Banned Books Week). In support of our theme, We Can be Heroes, we encourage our performers to either read from one of texts on the ALA’s list of Frequently Challenged Books or read something of their own that deals with a controversial issue.

We are including the link to ALA’s Most Banned and Challenged Classics List

If our readers have never seen this list; now is the time. It is a shocker.

As with all Play Pen’s, we will have an open mic segment where participants may read from any genre of work they choose.

Our musical guest for this month is Dave Daniels band.

The event is open to the public. Interested participants (writers and musicians) should contact us via email thewriteroom@live.com.

The Play Pen is held from 8 pm to 10 pm in Kybele restaurant located at 113 N. Park Sq in Marietta, Georgia.

We look forward to seeing you.
