What’s more hilariously cringe-worthy than angsty/angry/adorable/atrocious teen love poems? Watching grown-ups share them with an audience of strangers. Mortified is thrilled to bring our carnival of teen angst to the 2016 Massachusetts Poetry Festival! One by one, brave men and women will take the stage to relive their tortured adolescence by sharing their very raw, very real, very funny teenage poetry. Prom drama! First kisses! Awkward flirting! Mortified tackles it all, one hilarious performer at a time.

Hailed a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek, and celebrated for years by the likes of The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, This American Life, and Entertainment Weekly, Mortified is a comic excavation of the strange and extraordinary things we created as kids.
