This year we are proud to be partnering with the Education Department at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston to host the first ever Newburyport Semi-Final of Poetry Out Loud. Poetry Out Loud is a national poetry recitation contest developed to engage students with poetry. Now in its 14th year in Massachusetts, the program is expanding to the North Shore, and we are thrilled to act as the hosts for the 20 semi-finalists and their guests.

This event is free and open to the public.
