A Performance Celebrating 25 Years of Poetry in Cambridge and Boston

June 29, 2025

4:00 PM

Celebrating 25 years of performance poetry in Cambridge and Boston, acclaimed artists will gather at the Multicultural Arts Center’s theater for a one-time-only ensemble of performance artists and musicians, spanning over two decades of artistry!

Featured artists include the Jeff Robinson Trio and some of its legendary former members like Dwight Hart and Jerome Deupree, accompanying poets Regie Gibson, Michael Warrior Bonds, Iyeoka Okoawo, Brynna Boyd, Harlym125, and more!

All proceeds from this event will go towards the Multicultural Arts Center’s Backstage Access Project, a campaign to improve access for artists, technicians and designers to create at the Multicultural Arts Center through a renovation of our technical theatrical infrastructure and the creation of accessible, all-gender restrooms.
