the harold poetry reading series
The Harold Clurman Poetry Reading Series, created in 1997, and now part of the Harold Clurman Center for Spoken Word, aims to inspire current and future generations of theater artists and audiences to become more word-conscious, both verbally and aurally, out of a conviction that this will help them to become fuller and perhaps more considerate human beings. The poetry reading series brings great poets to the Studio to read their work, discuss their artistic process, and answer any questions that students might have. This initiative grew out of an effort to expand the cultural horizons of students, to encourage them as actors to take their place among the greater family of artists and to grow, through the arts of poetry, music, and dance, as human beings. These events are free and open to the public.
