It’s June in Los Angeles. You stumble across a woman with a vintage typewriter. After giving her just a word and a few bucks, she writes you a bespoke poem on the spot. You feel seen, you feel lighter, and you can’t help but smile as you go about your day.
But the Poet? Oh, she’s a total mess.
Freshly unemployed and heartbroken, our Poet opts to make ends meet by writing for strangers on the street. But what started as a wholesome operation has quickly illuminated her lack of direction, cynical nature, and fleeting sense of identity. With each interaction, the audience peeks further into her inner world, rich with contradiction, sharp humor, and a stubborn sense of splendor.
An exploration of purpose, presence, and the power of community, Poetry For Strangers does not answer the question: What is poetry? But rather: What is poetry capable of?

The play weaves together the writers journey to define black womanhood with the difficult historical realities of 1968. The audience is transported to both segregated south where they meet Mary Joyce, a law graduate stuck as a receptionist and Dorothy, an aspiring actress. They both depend on each other for survival but when they receive career defining opportunities their sudden path to success begins to strain their sisterhood. This dual narrative is a moving exploration of how the past and present echo each other and how leaning on our community is the most profound success.
