No props, no costumes (reading your poem from paper or from a device is fine!) and ABSOLUTELY no hate speech. Other than that the only thing to remember is that the points are not the point.... THE POINT IS THE POETRY!

EVERYONE:

Whether you come to share your work or just to listen, we really are a very friendly bunch - you’ll have a great time! Our audiences and performers make the night funny, heartfelt, weird and just generally incredible. Bring all your good vibes our way and let’s kick autumn off in style!

One Battle After Another

Running time: 162 mins

Washed-up revolutionary Bob (DiCaprio) exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past.

Silents Synced - Radiohead X Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror- Halloween at Genesis

Running time: 90 mins

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience this imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic!
