About me:
No, we’re not all young hip New York poets. We don’t care much for Krispy Kreme donuts, so we don’t write about them. Our poetic education began before the sarcastic zingers of the sitcoms. Ours is the stuff of poetry—people in trouble in a land of huge hearts, the little things of life that cannot be separated from your feelings, passion, love, and irony. We will make you cry, but it will be over the life-threatening experiences people share.
Laughs? Sure. Visit the church of the Jesus of Ugly. Watch a poet morph into a film director. Listen to a harried homeowner whack a mouse with a shovel and sing. See two stoned drivers talk their way out of a back yard in Newton.
Following the success of Def Poetry Jam on HBO and Broadway, fourteen successful years of our own slams and shows in Boston, eight months of shows at Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway Theater, and a continuing upsurge in the life of poetry on stage, Doctor Brown's Traveling Poetry Show, brings together most of the fifteen-member ensemble about as various as poets can be. Different poets perform each show, including occasional out-of-towners.
Directed by professor and poet Michael Brown, the troupe includes individual and collaborative poems by chemistry specialist Mala Radhakrishnan, madman Ryk McIntyre, reading advocate Valerie Lawson, the elusive Jeff Taylor, wry raconteur Simone Beaubien, musician and salesman Alex Charalambides, lyrical Laura Yan, teacher Douglas Bishop, and, as they say, more.
This is a fast-paced, 90-minute stage show with no dead air, no dead ideas, and no dead poets.
