“This annual event is always a highlight of our year, but this time it is going to be an especially amazing performance,” ACW executive director Nathalie Thill said. “All three poets have been exploring poetry, performance and music — all such incredibly creative people. We are so proud to bring them to Saranac Lake.”

The event is free and open to all. More information and registration can be found at adirondackcenterforwriting.org/poetry-on-broadway-2025.
