STREET THEORY: A Social Criticism Open Mic Night

The Cedar Works 4919 Pentridge Street, Philadelphia

Metropolarity presents a night of community building and sharing. We seek social criticism from the community--performance art, blog rants, monologues, critical sci-fi, thesis excerpts, protest songs--whatever. As long as it explores and dissects the world we live in today. We want to find out what our community feels about social issues. We don't want theories handed down to us from the ivory tower.

We want your real life STREET THEORY.
