Congratulations to Rory Berg, the 2026 Georgia Poetry Out Loud state champion!

After an inspiring statewide competition showcasing the talent of Georgia’s high school students, Berg will go on to represent Georgia at the Poetry Out Loud National Finals in Washington, D.C., this spring. Thank you to the Alliance Theatre for producing this program for Georgia’s high school students and helping them build confidence, public speaking skills, and the many benefits that result from a deeper understanding of poetry.
