Passion & Poetry

ALL I CAN SAY IS "BEAUTIFUL", I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EVENT.

The was awesome enjoy it lot. Filled with lots of passion, music was lovely

This event was very good. My wife and I went after dinner on Valentine's Day 2015. There were very talented people on the lineup from start to finish. Worth the price...#enjoy

The show was GREAT, WELL PLANNED and Started ON TIME I loved it...My husband also enjoyed as well. We will do it again and again, I will be telling all my friends. FACEBOOK POSTINGS as WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Passion and Poetry 2011 was a good show. I liked all the artist that were there. The only issue I had was with seating. I bought 2 tickets early to make sure I would get good seats. However, when I arrived with my guest, I was directed to balcony seating. So, the seats I bought were really null and void. I did not appreciate that since I bought specific seating. Otherwise than seating, the show was very good.

My only complaint....They could have allowed Frank McComb to play longer.

I was not impressed & very tempted to ask for my money back. I understand that this show was for "grown folks", but I thought the artist would be more... well, Passionate & Poetic! Guess I'll have to stick w/Soul Factory & Apache if I want to hear REAL poetry...smdh! ;-(

The event was great. The staff was very accommodating. The poets were awesome! i just wish they had more poets. The items the vendors had were pretty good too. It's a great event for that special person in your life,

I liked most of the poets and the dancers- i wish they couldve been on longer- i could have done without either of the singers. They got on my nerves i almost left during that first singer- glad i didnt because i enjoyed the poets after he but when frank was in his second song i couldnt take anymore i had to leave... because it will probably be the same way next year, i wont attend again

Great show!! Will return next year.. Nice valentine day get away

Joyce Lotell always put together a great show. I can't wait for next year's show.

I went to this event, I was invited by a co-worker because she was going to go by herself, I sated this is not a function you go by yourself to. This is was both of our first time going and we both have fun pretty much sat where we like god very very good seats. I just prefer to hear more poetry than actual singing which was good as well. Will I go again next year why not if possible Ill make it a traditon and go every year.

This was an amazing show. The music and artists chosen to perform was an excellent selection.

It was cool but I expected more from this evening. A lil more romance

I decided to surprise my girlfriend with tickets to this event. I was leery at first but quickly experienced a great evening as she was entertained and engaged in the show as I. The show was amazing. We shall return next year along with a few more couples as our guest.

Excellent, took my lady on Valentine's Day and we loved the show...

The poets were awesome, the music amazing! The vendors were very nice! Great venue! I'm hooked!

Definitely one of my favorite things about Valentine's day. I've enjoyed several shows in the past, this one rates just as high as the rest!

I took my wife to Passion and Poetry for Valentine's Day and we left during the last act, after contemplating an early exit at intermission. The high point of the evening was Frenchie Davis, who did a great job singing. The low points were most of the poets, particularly one guy who seemed to be making up his poem as he went along and talked solely about how every woman should let him have sex with them, and the last singer Phillipi who came out singing awful remixes of current songs like "These Thugs Ain't Loyal." She even brought out a beat machine and tinkered around with it before her song ... no lie! It was amateur hour. In the future, this event would need some better poets/musicians/artists to be successful.

This event just keeps getting better as time goes on! I just wish it traveled! Loved the cd Mrs. Little produced and can't wait 'til the next volume. Keep doin' the dang thang!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the show...music and poets. GREAT date night!!

Great show, I would definitely go and see it again next year!!!

Really grown and sexy event!!!! LOVED IT!! Can't wait until Joyce schedules the next Passion & Poetry event!

The poets/poetry/spoken words were awesome! Kenny Lattimore was outstanding, he really engaged with the crowd...Joyce Little & Ms. Sophia were outstanding/hilarious hosts. I'm looking forward to attending the "All White Affair" coming up in the summer. I would recommend this event to those who love spoken words & who would enjoy being in a "Grown & Sexy" environment.

I have been to the Passion and Poetry each year so far that they have had it and each year it seems to get better and better.. I really enjoyed the show and looking forward to the next show

This show was heartfelt, passionate, comedic, and at times ratchet! It was a well-rounded show full of some pretty awesome poets and musicians. The in-between performer out takes were absolutely hilarious with the drag queen Patty Labelle impersonator. Overall, me and my boyfriend had a great time snapping to poetry, dancing to music, and laughing to the organic comedy that was inserted. There was open seating within the chosen section, so just get there in time to get the seat you want. Also, vendors were in the lobby as well as a bar. Enjoy!

Had a great time, the poetry was essential and amusing! Bring it back soon!

It was the greatest thing I have experienced in a long time

Passion and Poetry has done it again. The mood was right to "Spring into Love" All of the acts were superb, and the mood was set for and even more enjoyable night to celebrate with my husband! Can't wait til the next Passion and Poetry comes to Center Stage Theater.

Way too focused on straight people. No diversity at all

We had a great time!!!!! We can't wait for the next event!

The show was entertaining all around, the venue was professional i wfould definately come back again.

This event was amazing!!! The poets, especially Malcolm and Bo Ellis, with the sultry sound of the band and guest singer was definitely for the grown and sexy!!! I hope Joyce Littel has this more often because I will be at every one!!

Great show as usual!! Can't wait til next year!! Joyce and Ms. Sophia did a great job hosting. The Singing was a bit much wish we had more poets and not 2 singers this year but overall it was great and I can't wait til the next one!

I had an awesome time.! Definitely loved the Adam's Rib part and the 10 Commandments.

This was just not what I expected!!! I was looking forward to more loving poetry on Valentine's Day.

Great show, good venue and very good turn out..need to advertise about it more though, most people don't know much about it. Would definately recommend to friends to go again next year.

Found the poets to be far more entertaining, relating to audience, than the singer/songstress, as their music was far too loud & lighting was too flashing (annoying). Musician's wanted to shine more than needed, which was not fitting for the romantic mood we expected... Joyce Littel & the "candy" concept was very nice, and as always she came thru with entertaining & relating to the audience, but over all we felt the 2 main performances fell short & was NOT worth the price. We only hope the poets were well paid.

This thing was heavy on erotica, which I could get past, but I thought a more romantic touch could have been used. It also seemed to be more of a musician showcase than poetry. They had two musical artists who each gave over 30 minute sets, and only 6 poets, performing 1 poem each. I probably won't be going back next year, but would suggest more poets and less unknown musicians.
