For longtime fans or for those who have never seen weiss perform before, this will be an extreme treat!

weiss is a German-born poet, performer, playwright and artist well known as a member of the Beat Generation who helped to pioneer the poetry/jazz readings which became such an influential aspect of that time. She has said of her work that much of it can only be fully expressed through performance.

$15-20 suggested donation, sliding scale. Nobody turned away for lack of funds.
