The Get Lit Players prepare to take Chicago by storm at the Brave New Voices poetry slam next week by showcasing some of the pieces they will be performing at a fundraiser yesterday evening.Six members of the troupe performed more than 10 different poems illustrating their ability breathe life into a variety of topics. The audience responded with hoots, applause, and calls for an encore, which the troupe happily obliged.
Before and after the show, audience members were treated to hors d'oeuvres and cocktails and given the opportunity to bid on items in a silent auction with proceeds benefitting the Get Lit Players trip to Chicago.
Last year the Get Lit Players placed 10th competing against 50 other troupes from around the world. This year they are ready to got to Chicago and win!
