Books by the Beach was at the Zeider's American Dream Theater in Virginia Beach, VA last night (February 22, 2018) for "The Word: An Open Mic for Poets, Storytellers, and Fabulists."
The event was hosted by the Zeider's Theater (commonly known among patrons as "The Z", in collaboration with some local writing groups: Tidewater Writers, Hampton Roads Writers, and The Muse Writer's Center. The event welcomed poets and storytellers of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. The diversity of the speakers is what made the event such a success. There were professional speakers as well as brand new voices! Everyone was welcomed and encouraged to share. The most remarkable part of the event was how comfortable the Zeider's Theater made everyone feel. People who didn't plan on sharing when they arrived ended up sharing by the end of the night. The crowd was respectful of everyone regardless of their experience in performing. This event was one of a kind, if you are looking for a community-based event, or if you are hoping to share or listen to poetry and stories, this is the event you need to attend! The next "The Word" event will be on April 19 at 7:30pm. The event is free, however a $5 donation is suggested.
