Poetry Bash & Haiku Showdown

Saturday, September 20, 2025 at 7:00 pm Past Event

Rachel Browne Theatre, 211 Bannatyne Avenue

This year, our MainStage series takes place at the Rachel Browne Theatre in the historic Exchange District. Our first outing celebrates all things poetic! Our Poetry Bash poets—Daniel Maluka, Louise Marois, Charlie Petch, Cam Scott, and Jennifer Still—all bring their worlds into sharp focus with their linguistic gifts.  

Then Charlie Petch takes over the hosting role and we kick into party mode with our Haiku Showdown where poets and local literati (and perhaps the THIN AIR team) duke it out in 17-syllable sound bites. It’s all fierce and fun on the path to the Showdown crown!
