Join Get Lit – Words Ignite at the 13th Annual Classic Slam, where hundreds of young poets will share fresh perspectives, dynamite poems, and unforgettable performances. For some, it’s their first field trip since grade school.

The Classic Slam has never been just a competition—it’s an opportunity for students to speak their truth and find their community. Witness the magic of creativity (and the culmination of countless rough drafts and slam practices…) from 6-9pm at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on April 20.

World renowned judges include award-winning poets Rudy Francisco and Yesika Salgado, co-founder of Dynasty Typewriter Jamie Flam, CAA Executive Dennis St. Rose, and actress & star of the hit TV showAll American: Homecoming, Geffri Maya.
