Poetry Witchery

Ritual Theater

 

Poetry Witch Ritual Theater is a pop-up theater company producing performance at the intersection of poetry and spirituality. Our goal is to enjoy and reclaim poetry's most ancient mission: using rhythmically crafted words to achieve connection with ourselves, each other, and the earth.

Each Poetry Witch Ritual Theater performance offers a unique fusion of poetry, theater and ceremony created by Annie in collaboration with local performers and creative artists.  Sign up below to be notified of  upcoming shows, or fill out this query to inquire about bringing PWRT to your area.
