THE ROUNDUP
The silence hung palpably in the Black Box Theatre; all eyes fell upon the seven finalists.
As the reciters strode up to the platform one by one, the words of Shakespeare and Hughes broke the deafening quiet.
The final round of this year’s Poetry Out Loud Feb. 9 showcased the best poetry performances Brophy had to offer.
Walking into the Black Box Theater for the first annual Poetry Out Loud contest, a poetry enthusiast might expect to see just a handful of students.

Brophy’s first ever Poetry Out Loud poem recitation contest took place on Jan. 20 and Jan. 21.
