THE JUNKYARD GHOST REVIVAL is a spoken word theater experience like no other, combining the national and world multi-champion cast of Buddy Wakefield, Derrick Brown and Anis Mojgani, with a rotating cast of special guests all in one night! This exceptional and inspiring verbal circus features four of the worlds top performance poets gathered together for one month, traveling cross-country as four lasers of love aimed directly at the chest. It is a truly inspiring and moving event that has been hailed as the liveliest spoken word experience in America.
Anis and Buddy together represent half of the nine individual National and World Poetry Slam titles since 2003. Their legendary poetry hero, Derrick Brown, is spoken word’s translation of Cirque Du Soleil in a Babe Ruth ballpark on a Houdini lock down. This is indeed a rare extravaganza for performance poetry, made up of side-splits and gut busting humor. Get ready for the ultimate in audience participation, loaded with strong sensations of lightning and purpose.
"They were incredible. The writing was sensational and the performance had us crying one moment and rolling on the floor the next" -- Brown University
"We brought folks who have never been to a poetry show before and they were ’wowed’. We loved the music and the way they interacted together. You walk out of there feeling alive." -- Lewis and Clark University
