Follow the Ruckus!
August 14, 2025 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
The Dirty Gerund Poetry Show, which hosts a legendary open mic every Monday night at Ralph’s Rock Diner, is bringing its live poetry shenanigans to the Museum of Worcester. Join us to cheer on local poets as they participate in Prompt ‘n’ Circumstance, an Iron Poet competition, and other poetry games.
“Follow the Ruckus!” accompanies Museum of Worcester’s new exhibit The Poem Next Door, curated by Mapping Worcester in Poetry, which will be open for viewing at 5:30 pm before the program. This event is FREE as part of Museum of Worcester’s 150th anniversary.
Registration is strongly encouraged. Please register here.
