January 25, 2019

By Neon Entertainment

A lot of young people tend to be turned off when they hear the word “poetry” because classic poetry can be hard to relate to. Spoken word, on the other hand, has been successful largely because of its relevancy and live entertainment value. So What’s The Difference? While classic poetry is meant to be written … Continued

Random Quote

“The overall “feel” of the Escape rooms (ie: set up and props) felt authentic and looked professional. It made you feel like you were actually in that section of the museum. I had great feedback from the groups that went into the Escape rooms and they spoke about how much fun they had and how happy they were that this was brought to campus. Overall, we are very pleased with the event turnout and we definitely will be looking at bringing this event back to campus in the future.”

Bazooka Ball

“Yes, last-minute we had to change location due to their being confusion with reservations, facilities, and the campus police. It ended up working out though as the change of location ended up being better for Jay and the setup with electricity being right there and not having to be setup. Those who played seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and we want to thank you for all of your help and assistance through the booking process. We look forward to continuing working with you throughout the rest of this semester and those to come. “

— Paige, East Stroudsburg University

Will Jay

“Everything was wonderful with Will Jay. He was easy to work with during the event and our students truly loved having him – I have already received requests to bring him to campus when we are allowed to do face to face events again. Here is what one person text me after the event, “I hope you can tell Will Jay how powerful it was, I’m talking to so many people about it and they all loved it and were touched by his songs and words”. There were multiple messages in the chat during the event last night talking about how amazing his lyrics were, his voice, most importantly students were able to relate in to the messages he was talking and singing about. I think Will Jay has a new fan base here at CMU and they are going to consume the music he has out now – and are eagerly anticipating what he has in store.”

Murder Mystery

“The event went wonderfully! The acting lessons seemed to go very smoothly and were extremely in-depth. Our cast members felt very comfortable with their roles after that and did a fabulous job during the event. The theme was a lot of fun, and the clues were constantly throwing the audience for a loop which was great! [The staff] was very interactive with everybody and the layout that he went with as far as questioning the cast and revealing clues was excellent. This was definitely one of my favorite events I have been at so far. I hope to do another Murder Mystery party in the future!”

— Kate, University of Iowa

Elizabeth Acevedo

“She [Elizabeth Acevedo] was wonderful. It was a perfect fit for the event, the audience loved her! She gave them a space to explore some emotions they may have or need to understand from an outsider’s perspective or just a space to hear what she had to say abut her experiences, observations, etc. One of the students from the club we were collaborating with even said we need to bring her back in the future. She is one performer we will be keeping in our heads for future performances.”

— Emily Umstead, Aquinas College

Brian Ledbetter

“During a time when first year students are uneasy about making friends, adjusting to college, and getting to know each other; Brian [Ledbetter] was able to bring them together through illusions! Students were consistently asking where to finding the roving mentalist at our Create your Own Adventure Event during Welcome Week at Temple University, and they were not disappointed when they found him. We could not have asked for a better addition to our event than Brian!”

— Mat Greer, Temple University
