Join GrubStreet’s Light Up the Center, a yearly community appreciation event, to celebrate their expansive writing community with exciting, multidisciplinary performances by GrubStreet instructors and students, as well as acclaimed Boston-based dance
Continuing GrubStreet's commitment to facilitating dialogue to encourage equity and justice, they're hosting a very special Light Up the Center: for the first time at GrubStreet, they're inviting artists from other groups and disciplines to light up the center together.
A first ever event of its kind on GrubStreet's Calderwood Writers' Stage, you can join them to enjoy performances by:
City of Boston's Poet Laureate & GrubStreet instructor Porsha Olayiwola
Cuatro virtuosa & composer Fabiola Mendez
Boston Ballet's principal dancer, Chyrstyn Mariah Fentoy
Author Shilpi Suneja
GrubStreet Teen Fellow Zaila Alves
Write Down the Street neighborhood program alum Fiona Maurissette
Followed by:
An audience and performer conversation
A lively reception with food and drink
Please note: First-floor stage tickets for the programming portion are sold out! Due to popular demand, we're now offering hybrid tickets for the second floor. These tickets give you access to the full party experience throughout the space and you can enjoy the live stream of the stage programming in GrubStreet's comfortable classrooms alongside other guests.
Every ticket donation of any amount is greatly appreciated. Your “pay what you will” ticket donation will help GrubStreet:
Increase financial aid for teens and adults over the next year, so that GrubStreet can provide up to 500 scholarships for writers of all ages
Expand new programs that take on critical issues like our "Writing for Change" series from the stage, and our new annual workshop and publication series on timely issues, from “Our Bodies, Our Stories” to the upcoming “Our Planet, Our Stories”
Continue support for our talented Fellows: our Emerging Writer Fellows and our Black Teaching Fellows
