POETRY OUT LOUD
The words of great poets literally come to life in Poetry Out Loud.
The Virginia Commission for the Arts (VCA) is excited to partner
with The Wayne Theatre serving as the host and administrator
of this year’s Poetry Out Loud program.
A national program sponsored by the National Endowment
for the Arts (NEA) and the Poetry Foundation, brings poetry
to high schoolers through memorization, performance,
and public speaking. Since 2005, nearly 4.7 million students
have participated in the program and committed at least
one poem to memory. In Virginia, approximately
101,000 students have participated since the program’s inception.
