Be Silly and Free

It takes great confidence to truly express oneself, a feat I believe Andrew Wade has achieved through this show. Exploring themes of whimsy, order, and reality, ‽Silly Poems for Awesome Adults‽ presents itself as unserious despite the potent meaning within the poetry presented on stage. Wade proves that although impressive, not all poetry must be bound by strict, traditional observations of skill, using the artform as a way to encourage a more playful way of life. In addition to this reinterpretation of poetry, Wade enhances his storytelling through the incorporation of some truly personal admittances, building a truly intimate connection between himself and the audience. This performance is a message pointed at those who try with all their might to find the joy in all mundanity, encouraging them to push forward and continue in their seek for novelty. After watching this show, I can confirm the poems were silly and the adults were awesome, so if a light-hearted yet intensely personal experience is what you are seeking, I highly recommend ‽Silly Poems for Awesome Adults‽.
