Louder Than A Bomb

Monday, April 9, 2012, 7:00-9:00 PM

New Trier High School, Winnetka Campus, Gaffney Auditorium, 385 Winnetka Ave., Winnetka, 60093

Come join us for a free screening of the prize-winning documentary "Louder Than a Bomb," which chronicles the hopeful, heartbreaking, unforgettable journey of four Chicago-area high school poetry slam teams as they prepare for the annual competition that draws more than 600 teenagers from over 60 Chicago area schools. Produced and directed by local filmmakers Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel, this joyous, passionate film will move and enlighten you. Bring your teen, and her friends.

"Louder than a Bomb is an exhilarating film, presenting a great range of talents. There are poems and performances here that are funny, others moving, and the whole of the film is brimming with vitality."  W.S. Merwin, U.S. Poet Laureate

Special guests who will conduct a follow-up program and performance immediately after the movie screening are being confirmed

Co-sponsored by FAN, and New Trier Parents' Association.

We are now at capacity.  We look forward to seeing everyone who has registered for the event.  The program is free.  No tickets will be issued.  There will be a seat for everyone who registered.

One show only. Please note that street parking around the NTHS Winnetka campus will be at a premium. Please consider using the Metra parking lot at Green Bay Rd. and Winnetka Ave., carpooling with friends, or taking public transportation.
