"N+N Productions is thrilled to team up with WattsWords Productions to highlight the art of spoken word. It is an art form that tends to slip under the radar and makes the perfect marriage with dance and song – bringing the incredible Broadway community together for a night to celebrate art." said Nikole Vallins and Natalie Malotke, Producers.

After having performed his co-creation WORDS! with Derrick Baskin (The Tank, NYC; Clarke Studio at Lincoln Center), WattsWords Productions owner and the show's creator Daniel J. Watts is thrilled to give this platform to the artists in this community. "As an artist it is my duty to create and inspire." From one of his featured poems: "We (artists) are mother birds with child-like faith speaking off-spring words that fly away to be nurtured into new ideas. We must name them 'Inspiration' and wait for their return."

Reservations recommended, running time is 75 minutes.
