The Richard Fox Reading Series
August 4 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
We’re off for July but back with a roar on August 4th with the extraordinary Evan Plante!
We’re keeping the 5pm start to help with metered parking. The Broadway will take one-hour of parking ($2,00) off your ticket with a food purchase.
Owners Tony and Nequel Germano have a plethora of delightful entrees, apps, desserts, and their famous, homemade ice cream. The Broadway also serves beer and wine and breakfast until closing (with mimosas!). We have a separate room for our shenanigans. Admission is still Free!. All of the tip jar $ goes to our feature. Sign up for the open mic at joesyellowpad@gmail.com. Five minute maximum and limited spots.
The Fox Poetry Series, in honor of the iconic poet Richard Fox, is sponsored by the Worcester County Poetry Association through a generous donation from the Fox family. I’m pleased as punch to continue this exciting open mic/feature every 1st Tuesday of the month except for July from 5-7:30pm at such a welcoming venue. Join us on August 4th!
Evan Plante has recently rejoined the spoken word community after a twenty year hiatus. Where has he been? Well… taking down existential walls mostly… which he’ll explain bit by bit at future open mics and the occasional feature. Evan and his wife Carole have been together for over sixty years – and no… he can’t figure it out either! Nevertheless, they have two children, six grandchildren – and six great-grandchildren – and although they are retired from industry, they are not retired from life. Evan bowls in a candlepin league. They are both active in the Blackstone Valley Arts Association and at Open Sky Community Services’ Take Down the Wall open mic initiative. But most importantly, Evan goes to breakfast with friends so often that he’s thinking about going pro! That being said, Evan does not remember a time when he was not reading or not under the compulsion to write. He writes essays and short stories in addition to his poetry… although it’s hard to sort them out sometimes. (Labels aren’t always helpful in this regard.)
