The Performing Arts Series at the University of Central Missouri presents The Mayhem Poets at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 11, in Hendricks Hall. The presentation is part of the PAS Guest Artist Series.  Called “an amazing ride” by The New York Times, the theatrically trained, comedically gifted lyrical virtuosos blend raw elements of hip hop, theatre, improv, and stand-up comedy, delivering a performance described as “The Simpsons meet Malcolm X at a Notorious B.I.G. concert.”

Tickets for The Mayhem Poets are available at the Central Tickets box office in Administration 100, by calling 660-543-8888, online, or one hour prior to show time. Discounts are available, including half-price tickets for K-12 students.  The event is sponsored by The Spotlight at UCM.  All UCM students will be admitted with free tickets, which are available at the Student Activities office in Elliott Union 217.  Financial assistance for this performance has been provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
