Get Lit: Speakeasy Rhymes

We're heading back to the Prohibition era for a night of poetry like you've never heard! Step back into the glittering, shadowy world of the Roaring Twenties at Get Lit: Speakeasy Rhymes.

Step back into the glittering, shadowy world of the Roaring Twenties at Get Lit: Speakeasy Rhymes, an evening of clandestine charm, jazz-age flair, and unfiltered artistic expression.
  • Share an original piece of poetry or song during our open mic. Don’t have anything to share? We’ll have pieces from notable American poets and songwriters that you can select.
  • Stop by the Blackout Poetry Bar to create a unique blackout poetry inspired by works of the 1920s.
  • Uncover the Secret Password hidden in clues around the museum to earn a special prize.
  • Enjoy beer, wine, and the night’s specialty cocktail, the Giggle Water. Non-alcoholic options are available as well.

Slip through our secret door, raise a glass, and lose yourself in a night where every whispered word keeps the spirit of the speakeasy alive.

This is 21+ event. Attendees must show a valid photo ID at the door to enter.
