This Wednesday, the line was long and the room was packed with Cantabbers ready to read, listen, and compete! It was another sold out night, which of course resulted in a very full open mic. Shoutout to our regularly-amazing regulars and the impressive set of newcomers this week – please come back soon!!
After pieces from our lovely staff, we had another team qualification slam! It was close, but after an unexpected, tie-induced, 3-person final round, Meaghan Ford emerged victorious, partially thanks to their piece on how the flute section of the Star Wars theme had a permanent impact on them, even after the orchestra concert was over. Congratulations to Meaghan and runner-up Skylar Sweet Cheeks, who qualify for the Cantab slam team!
This week’s ✏️Line(s) of the Wednesday✏️ is from our runner up, Skylar Sweet Cheeks:
“I’ve been watching the leaves change colors this season.
They’re beautiful,
before they fall to the ground.”
Next week: Come on over and bring your friends to see Lowell poet, organizer, and badass improviser Ricky Orng for what will be an amazing featured performance!!!
