"Racing"

by War Torn Poetry

Between the words I say
And the things I write
The way I feel
With the way I fight
I'll risk it all
To love you
With every word
My actions are true
The way I look
From across the room
My thoughts race
As my mind consumes
My heart beats
Inside my chest
With your touch
It's all put to rest

Want the best date night possible this Saturday night? Drinks, dessert, a hilarious live performance, professional actors, an intimate unforgettable space, pay-what-you-can tickets…it simply does not get better than this. So come on out and join us at our Parlor on Quaker Avenue for our staged reading of Steve Martin’s Broadway comedy Meteor Shower.

FYI, we’re sold out for the next three weeks. You’re welcome to show up and hope for a cancellation. But if you really want to see the show, why not book now for our July 2 show and save yourself the uncertainty?
