A Word in Your Ear
"In an age when city coffers are depleted and public and community venues and facilities such as the San Francisco Public Libraries, SFPL, the San Francisco Free Civic Theater, SFFCT, director Glenn Havlan, several neighborhood rec centers and many other free city-run programs are being threatened with cut-backs, it is especially important to come out in support of local literary and community events before they vanish forever.
The Randall Theater Poetry Series is one such program. Attending one, two or all three of the poetry shows will not only inform and entertain you, but will also send a message to the appropriate city agencies that events such as these are in demand, are vital to the local community and deserve continued funding.
Yes, we are soliciting your engagement and presence at these three shows, not just for the benefit of the featured poets and musicians who are giving so generously of their time and talent without monetary compensation, but also to help us make an important point.
So go ahead, jump on our (poetry) bandwagon. There's room for all of us!
Thank you."

Having attended the first program in this series on March 5th, I am looking forward to attending the second night as well. The eclectic assortment of poets and poetic styles, plus the varied musicians that co-producers Ana Elsner and Stephen Kopel have chosen for this series offers those attending a most interesting and enjoyable experience in the perfect setting of the Randall Museum Theatre.
