Inside Out Tours presents the Greenlight Poetry Slam
Hosted by Mo Beasley
Award-winning Brooklyn-based company Inside Out Tours leads visitors and local residents to great cultural experiences "off the beaten path" in Brooklyn's vibrant and diverse neighborhoods. Inside Out not only leads you to exciting destinations, they also create destinations, including Greenlight’s new poetry slam series on the last Thursday of every month this summer. Join us to hear some great performance poets, and sign up to take the stage and compete in the slam for prizes and glory.
Host Mo Beasley is an award-winning Brooklyn performance poet, spoken word artist, published playwright, educator, and recording artist. He has featured at legendary stages from the Blue Note to the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, and teaches performance poetry to high school students. The slam is open to performers of all ages and will follow standard three-round rules; signup begins at 7:30. The first prize is a free tour with Inside Out, and runners-up will receive poetry books from Greenlight Bookstore.
(As a special aside: Inside Out Tours won the Brooklyn Business Library’s Power Up! Award for the best Brooklyn-based business plan submitted in 2009 – this is the same award Greenlight Bookstore won in 2007. We’re proud to partner with our fellow Brooklyn entrepreneurs to bring this new spoken word series to the borough, and to help spread the word about Inside Out Tours as a new Brooklyn based business.)
