Event Details

Hosted by Rock Hill Youth Poet Laureate Genesis Medley and award-winning author, poet, and edutainer Carlo Dawson, teens are invited to perform spoken word or a musical piece at our first Teen Open Mic Night! All artists will have 3-5 minutes to perform. Practice performing, try out your latest piece, and meet other like-minded creative types. All poetry styles are welcome!

Want to attend but not perform? Take a seat, relax, and ENJOY! We welcome and encourage all levels of performers, novice to expert. Poetry that is performed will also be published as a Library Zine!

Poetry pieces need to have family friendly content and submitted to the Library prior to the event. Performers must be 12-18, but event is open to all teens and their friends and family. Register online or call (803) 981-5870, starting March 28. Limit 50.
