Congratulations to Senn High School’s Poetry Team as they head into the final round of Louder Than A Bomb competition today. The Chicago Tribune has a great article about this team and LTAB. Powerful!

Slam poetry has often given voice to social and justice issues, and these Senn High School juniors and seniors are no exception as they move into the final round of Chicago's Louder Than a Bomb spoken-word competition this weekend. The annual festival, held by Young Chicago Authors, encourages poetry appreciation among high school students by allowing them to compete onstage in spoken-word events. The Senn team is among four Chicago-area teams to advance to Saturday's group finals at the Auditorium Theatre.

"When you give young people a political platform, they're going to use it," said 18-year-old poet Olivia Shine. "(Slam poetry) could be the best political platform we have."

The Young Adult Council is a unique program for passionate and motivated high school students who wish to learn the inner-workings of professional theatre from the most celebrated artists in the city. In addition to face time with these leading professionals, Council members attend the best plays in Chicago, learn how to analyze and speak about these plays and lead events for their peers around Steppenwolf productions. Council members meet once a week and receive a travel stipend for this rigorous and exciting work.
