Join us at Marin Center's Showcase Theater as five to six students selected from Marin County high shools compete in the 2020 Marin Poetry Out Loud Final Competition! A winner will be selected to represent Marin County in the California State Poetry Out Loud event in March in Sacramento. Participating high schools include Drake High School, The Marin School, Marin School of the Arts, San Marin, and Tamalpais High.
California proudly holds court as home to the largest Poetry Out Loud competition in the country, growing steadily since its start in 2005. Poetry Out Loud is a FREE high school program that encourages the nation's youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and recitation. This dynamic program helps high school students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, learn about their literary heritage, and compete for more than $100,000 in awards. Last year's winner Lily Bogas from Tamalpais High School will be competing again in the competition.
This event is FREE and open to the public!
