” Unlauch’d Voices ” – an Evening with Walt Whitman as Portrayed by Stephen Collins

January 17, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

- Free

Stephen Collins returns to the COA with his one-man show “Unlaunch’d Voices” – an Evening with Walt Whitman. The show opens as the elderly Whitman celebrates his 70th birthday… he begins to reminisce and to question his success as a man and a poet. Whitman transforms into his younger self and we learn the story behind his seminal work “Leaves of Grass.” ‘Unlanuch’d Voices’ relies on as much of Whitman’s actual words and dialogue as possible. Whitman made invaluable contributions to modern poetry and free verse. His worth lies in his humanity, his struggles and his joyful view of life. You will gain insight into this this great man and poet, and you will appreicate, even further, Whitman as an eternally free spirit. There is no charge for this performance thanks to the generosity of Harvey’s Treasure Chest Gift Shop. Please call to reserve your seat: 978-318-3020.
