Call for Poets!
Join us at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences for Adult Night: Magic & Monsters, an evening of Dungeons & Dragons-themed fun.
For this event, a chaotic-good wizard will transmogrify Living Poetry into the Merry Bards of Raleigh. We'll be doing poetry on demand, where attendees get to roll a twenty-sided die to see if they can persuade us to write a poem. Depending on their roll, they might get a haiku or limerick. For a natural 20, we'll write them a sonnet or something equally epic.
The Merry Bards will also be roaming around reciting themed work (originals or covers) during the evening.
Our party numbers but three so far! And we are expecting high demand for poems and recitations from Raleigh's legion rogues, knaves, maids, and otherfolk (i.e. event attendees).
If you have a merry heart and a ready pen (no laptops), RSVP here and we will get in touch! We would love to have at least 6 participating poets.
Important: All Merry Bards must be in costume! If we have enough volunteers, we can set up rotating shifts. But please plan to be at the event the entire time, from setup at 6pm until 10pm.
