​

New Jersey Natives Scott Raven, Mikumari Caiyhe and Mason Granger combine hip hop rhythms, stand-up comedy, music and current issues in a one-hour theatrical presentation that is fast-paced, creative, humorous and thought-provoking.   

 

Their aim is to make poetry "cool" again!

​

“Their intent … is to prove that with imagination, ''we can go anywhere.'' It's an amazing ride.”  - NY Times

​

"One great thing about a Mayhem Poets show is the 'sneak attack' effect, where the kids either don't know what they're about to see -or- they think it's going to be three guys standing on stage reading poetry for an hour. Then, when the show starts, and they see this poetry/comedy/hip hop hybrid thing happening, that's when they light up like, 'Oh this is FOR ME!' And then to the parents who are the ones paying for the tickets, I promise it's for YOU too. Like a Pixar movie, except it's three guys from New Jersey."          - Mason Granger, Mayhem Poets

 

Audience members will leave with a new appreciation for the power of well-chosen and well-spoken words aimed at helping people find their own voices.  The show is highly interactive, and kids are invited to the stage to help create improvisational poems that bring smiles and laughs. Perfect for ages eight and above.
