Join us on May 15, 2026, at 7:30 PM at Davis Theatre, Concord, NC.
The Show
Words to Live By brings together poets, musicians, and storytellers sharing work shaped by lived experience.
The night moves from struggle toward hope through a range of voices and styles. Some pieces are quiet and reflective. Others bring rhythm, humor, or music.
This Night is for you if:
- You’ve been through a hard season
- You’ve supported someone who has
- You believe stories can help people feel less alone
The Reason For Words To Live By
In Cabarrus County and across the Greater Charlotte region, many people are carrying more than they let on. Access to mental health care is limited, wait times are long, and support often arrives later than it should.
Local and state data point to rising strain across families, schools, and workplaces in our region. But numbers alone don’t tell the full story of what people are living with day to day.
Words to Live By exists to make room for those stories.
Through poetry, music, and shared experience, the show offers a way to listen together and remind people they are not alone.
