Walking In Verse: An Interactive Poetry Experience

Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.

Description

In collaboration with The Live Oak Playhouse, Fort Bend County Libraries is bringing to you an immersive, interactive experience with poetry! Join us on a stroll around George Memorial Library with cast members who will bring to life iconic poets of the past and present.  Come visit your favorite poets from last year such as Mother Goose and William Shakespeare, and welcome new poets like Emily Dickinson, James Baldwin, and Beatrix Potter! The actors will bring the poets to life, recite their poetry, and interact with visitors, who will be able to converse with them as if they were speaking to the poets themselves.   Tea time will be served in Room 2C, and there will be poetry recitations on the 2nd floor landing. 

For all ages.

This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the George Memorial Library.
