Verbal Tapas

Rob Gee—Planetarium

The always personable Rob Gee goes back to his poetry roots in this performance. The self-described “Stand-up Poet” provides the audience with a menu of 20 poems to choose from as you come into the theatre. Some are older favourites of his, some are from his experiences working as a Mental Health Nurse, and some are newer creations, including a few created in his poetry workshops with varying groups of people.

Rob gives a little background on each of the poems selected and then tells the poem. His use of rhyme and meter are spectacular and always generates a laugh. We got to sample 13 of the selections in our performance. You can tell how much he loves entertaining people and everyone has a great time.
