Rhyme & Cheese Night is coming up – submissions due this Friday!
Rhyme & Cheese celebrates Glebe students’ own writing in the hopes that it will encourage a love and excitement for the craft by all who participate and come to listen. The student will share their own original writing on April 30th at 7 pm with the Glebe community in a relaxed atmosphere and hopefully learn to love (or at least get comfortable) speaking in front of others. The Listeners are just as critical as The Writers, so encourage your student to come support their Glebe-mates.
Submissions are due Friday, April 26th and a lottery will be conducted to select 30 students.
Multi-authored pieces are welcome so long as the number of authors does not exceed two. The Submission form can be found at the end of this newsletter or can be printed here and should be turned in the Glebe Lobby.
