| It’s where Walt Whitman meets Michael Jackson. It’s where Emily Dickinson meets Mary J. Blige. It’s Russell Simmons “Def Poetry Jam”, the lyrical, smart, hilarious and searingly honest new show that became a Tony-winning phenomenon on Broadway. Eight gifted young poets speaking from the heart about love, dreams, self-respect, politics, sex and Krispy Creme donuts – everything that makes today’s world a fascinating, complex place. Presented by The University of Akron’s E. J. Thomas Hall. On sale September 11, 2004 at 10am. |
