August is full to the brim with poetry, music and storytelling.

This Thursday night, Poetica’s Miriam Hechtman has joined forces once again with Jessica Chapnik Kahn to write a coming of age tale about two 13 year old girls from different cities who meet in 1989 and become penpals. Through adolescence, heartbreak and exploring their identities, the pair uncover a deep kindred bond. This dramatic reading of DEAR JESSY, DEAR MIRIAM on AUGUST 6 is part of Shalom Collective’s The Festival of the Spoken Word. Bring your tweens and teens for free.
