Additional performances will be provided by The Breaking Ground Poets, the only teen performance poetry group in NEPA. The Breaking Ground is a tribe of young people united by their love of poetry. They are dedicated to self-expression, self-discovery, and bridging the gaps in the local writing community. This past year, the poets brought Write Bloody authors Lauren Zuniga, Jon Sands, and Andrea Gibson to Scranton. They have hosted 3 teen slams and host monthly open mics at The Tioga Bistro in Tunkhannock.
In August, the Breaking Ground Poets will be competing at Brave New Voices, the largest youth poetry festival in the world.
Additional performances will be provided by local musicians and comedians.
Please join us for this love fest of performance art!
