Paul Robeson Performing Arts Company presents the third annual Jackie Warren-Moore Monologue & Poetry Festival, celebrating the legacy of JWM by bringing impactful neighborhood experiences to life through the presentation of monologues, written by local playwright Anne Margaret Childress, the poetry of Ms. Warren-Moore, and performed by a diverse ensemble of community artists.  

This annual Festival seeks to preserve and highlight our friend Jackie’s legacy of inspiring everyone, youth especially, to recognize and use the power of words. As a nationally published poet, local columnist, actor and activist, she encouraged using words as a weapon of choice.  

This year's Festival performance concludes with a facilitated conversation with audience members sharing their thoughts and experiences about "community,” a theme expressed throughout the presentation.
