The Boston Poetry Slam is pleased to present a reschedule of our promised feature for August 16, 2017.
Emily Duggan has studied writing, performance poetry, straight and applied theatre, and improv, sketch, and stand-up comedy at Brandeis University, Emerson College, GrubStreet, The Second City— Chicago, and more. In the past three years, she has worked as a/an: traveling-children’s-theatre intern, K-12 tutor, improvisational illustrator, escape-room facilitator, puppet-theatre administrator, historic educator, psychologist’s assistant, documentary-theatre actor, dramaturg, and ghost (seriously) (dead seriously) (sorry not sorry) (actually sorry). In the summer of 2016, she may have been the first woman to print Paul Revere’s [in]famous engraving of the Boston Massacre in over 200 years — and on the same device he’d’ve used. After all that excitement and too much more, Emily fled Boston in August 2017, and she is currently a candidate for an MFA in Writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
This show in our weekly Wednesday series takes place at the Cantab Lounge, 738 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge. Doors for the show open at 7:15. The open mic begins at 8:00 and the feature performs at approximately 10:00. An open poetry slam in the 8×8 series will follow. The show is 18+ (ID required) and the cover charge is $3.
