Josh McIlvain and his wife Deborah Crocker, the combined force behind SmokeyScout Productions (inside knowledge: it's named after their cats, Smokey and Scout), are hosting a
bad poetry slam on Wednesday, August 18 from 7-9PM at Quigs Pub on the third floor of
Plays & Players Theater (1714 Delancey Street). Write some bad poetry (or dig out that high school journal you thought was oh so deep) and read it onstage (2-minute limit—--
bad celebrity poetry also allowed) for the chance to win an
extra-special secret prize!
The slam is part of an evening of fun, comedy, music, and beer ($2 lagers) to support
Josh's bar tab and some diapers for their new baby a new SmokeyScout production set to run as part of the 2010 Philly Fringe.
Boat Hole, another evening of outrageous short comedies by Josh McIlvain will be on stage Sept 15-18 at the
Performance Garage (1515 Brandywine Street). Visit
the Live Arts website for tickets and info. Entrance to the sneak peak party and poetry slam is $10
in advance (click to purchase) and at the door.
To win you'll have to beat this gem by fellow PF editor
Christopher Munden:
To My Brown Eyed Baby FrogNot ocean eyes yours,
blue and deep;
nor lake eyes,
calculating cold.
Your eyes are like a pond
muddy and opaque
your pupils are two tadpoles
whose tails were removed
before they grew legs.
You're my deformed, legless, brown-eyed baby frog.
