Monthly on Fridays Through 2025

A Special Late Night Monthly Event!

In collaboration with The Nuyorican Poets Cafe! 

Pregones PRTT and the Nuyorican Poets Café are proud to present the Final Friday Slam at the historic Puerto Rican Traveling Theater. Competing poets for the Final Friday Slam consist of weekly Nuyorican Bowery Slam winners, one lottery-selected poet from the audience and curated competitors. The tournament-bracket-style slam will see participants exchange their poetry head to head until only one is left!

Final Friday winners receive $100 and an invitation to compete in the end-of-year Grand Slam for $1,000 and a produced show at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe when it reopens in 2026. The slam is immediately followed by the Twilight Hour Open Mic, where anyone in the audience can perform on this legendary stage. Tickets are $35 online or at the door upon arrival. We look forward to having you join us for what is sure to be a legendary and magical evening!
