The coffeehouse meets the cabaret as Poetry/Cabaret returns after a hit first season at The Green Room 42 on Saturday, September 7 at 7 PM. The show brings together poets and performers in an evening of stimulating variations on a theme. Season two opens with Poetry/Cabaret: RECLAIMED! Curated and hosted by Thomas March. In Poetry/Cabaret: RECLAIMED!, the cast reclaim their time, themselves, their sense and their sanity—or rediscover what’s been there all along.
In addition to comedy from Thomas March, the show will feature poetry from Darrel Alejandro Holnes, Matthew Mendoza and a surprise guest; comedy from Shalewa Sharpe and James Tison; and music from Molly Pope and Lyra Vega, who will also be on the keys. As always, this fast-paced, multi-genre variety show will keep the audience on its toes for a heartbreaking and hilarious evening of “emotional whiplash.”
This installment of Poetry/Cabaret will also benefit from a special collaboration with PEN America and The St. Marks Poetry Project, featuring work by a currently incarcerated poet.
Tickets are available online here. Tickets can also be purchased at the box office prior to showtime.
The Green Room 42 is located at 570 Tenth Avenue New York, NY—Inside YOTEL, Fourth Floor
