About The Encyclopedia Show
Young Chicago Authors presents The Encyclopedia Show, brought to you by the quirky minds of poets and producers Robbie Q. Telfer and Shanny Jean Maney. 

The Encyclopedia Show showcases visual art, comedy, music and spoken word on a topic randomly selected from an encyclopedia. Def Poetry Jam vets, writing professors, slam poets, stand-up comics, fiction writers, artists and performers then volunteer to elaborate on specific entries.

Recorded Wednesday, June 03, 2009 at Chopin Theatre.
