The public can expect a few treats and surprises this year with Spoken Word entering its 10th season, Friday, September 25, from 8 to 10 p.m. in the Walter Petryschuk Turret Room of the Lawrence House Centre of the Arts, 127 Christina Street South. The informal evening of storytelling, humour and poetry reading, held on the last Friday of every month, except July, August and December, has a reputation for introducing new work and voices.
"Anytime you bring highly creative people together, you're bound to generate some unplanned and humourous moments," said Debbie Okun Hill, an award-winning poet who has co-hosted the event for the past four years. "Spoken Word is like an open window showcasing the pulse of Sarnia's literary scene."
Thank you to Bill Walters, Wolf Mendritzki,Holly Shrumm, Crowe Jane, Jim Chevalier Trio and our incredible volunteers for helping to make this First Friday such an amazing experience! The numbers were staggering, we had1,418 people come through the Lawrence House to experience the myriad of offerings at the Centre.congrats also go to Dennis mitchell and cameron Starr for their successes with their installations1. Dennis 's installation"Living Dolls"((Dennis winning an esteemed position for his proposal at the Gallery Lambton) and Cameron s After party contributions at the Trinity Lounge added such depth to thee street-scape. We are so proud of our staff for all the extra community arts outreach they have achieved this summer.
