A Busboys and Poetry Event hosted this week by Rebecca Dupas
This Louisiana native found her voice in her teenage years when journal writing evolved into poetry. Nothing about Rebecca Dupas' poetry speaks to her quiet, reserved nature. Perhaps, it is something about her passion, something about the stage, something about the microphone that illuminates her boldness, something that grabs your attention, something that moves you. In addition to being one of the hosts for Monday Night Open Mic Poetry at Busboys and Poets in Shirlington, she hosts VERBATIMondays in Baltimore, Maryland. Rebecca has released three poetry albums including her most recent, “Therapy Sessions: A Year of Epiphanies” (2010), and is at work on her first poetry book, "Beauty for Ashes: The Exchange."
For two hours, audiences can expect a diverse chorus of voices, and a vast array of professional spoken word performers, open mic rookies, musicians and a different host every week. Expect to be moved, expect a packed house, expect the unexpected, but above all come with an open mind and ear.
$5 suggested donation (cash only). RSVP online here beginning at midnight! RSVP limit of 4 per person. Tickets will be released at the door if available. Guests must have their wristbands on upon entering the event.
Seating is available on a first come, first seated basis. No saved or reserved seats are allowed. Failure to check in within 30 minutes of advertised start time may result in forfeiture of seats.
