Step back into the glittering, shadowy world of the Roaring Twenties at Get Lit: Speakeasy Rhymes, an evening of clandestine charm, jazz-age flair, and unfiltered artistic expression.
- Share an original piece of poetry or song during our open mic. Don’t have anything to share? We’ll have pieces from notable American poets and songwriters that you can select.
- Stop by the Blackout Poetry Bar to create a unique blackout poetry inspired by works of the 1920s.
- Uncover the Secret Password hidden in clues around the museum to earn a special prize.
- Enjoy beer, wine, and the night’s specialty cocktail, the Giggle Water. Non-alcoholic options are available as well.
Slip through our secret door, raise a glass, and lose yourself in a night where every whispered word keeps the spirit of the speakeasy alive.
This is 21+ event. Attendees must show a valid photo ID at the door to enter.
Get Lit is your way to enjoy evenings in the Loop. Meet friends and fellow book nerds for an early evening treat. Each month, the AWM serves drinks, games, special experiences, and fun activities to get you lit!
