Strong Words
Voices of the City
We call it storytelling for adventurous audiences! For 12+ years, Strong Words has hosted intimate evenings of stories, poetry + music in the heart of Silver Lake/ Atwater Village. We draw wordsmiths and performing artists from the entire Los Angeles cultural landscape for a magical evening under the stars in our glorious courtyard.
