Auditions for Walking in Verse

Fort Bend Public Libraries in partnership with The Live Oak Playhouse are pleased to announce the return of “Walking in Verse: An Interactive Poetry Event” celebrating National Poetry Month, on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the George Memorial Branch Library, located at 1001 Golfview Drive Richmond, Texas.

The Live Oak Playhouse will be holding auditions for featured performers for this event on Saturday and Sunday, February 22 and 23, 2025 from 2:00 – 4:30 p.m. at the George Memorial Branch Library in the Meeting Room.  No appointments are required, but please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork and review audition materials. Headshots and resumes are requested but not required. Auditions will consist of selections from each poet as cold readings, as well as engagement with director Stacy A. Bakri in an informal and improvisational format based on biographic information for each author.  All materials will be provided at the audition, but auditioners are invited and encouraged to read about each author and their work prior to the auditions. Please contact Artistic Director Stacy A. Bakri at sbakri@liveoakplayhouse.org if you have any questions about this event or these auditions.
