Hello there! I'm Charmaine. But my stage name is Chá Merri.
POETRY
If you're looking for a dynamic poet to set the tone of your next gathering, I'm here for you. (I've been performing my original poetry on stages since I was 8 years old so this is kind of my thing.)
After we discuss your needs, I can pull a pre-written poem out of my book or I can write you a brand new customized original! Just give me the subject and the occasion and I'll write and perform the poem for you.
MASTER OF CEREMONIES
I'm a trained speaker so I know how to work a crowd and keep an event going.
ACTRESS
I'm also a trained and seasoned actress. I can fit into any project.
Chá was a joy to work with. There was a lot of negotiating on the details and she was great through all of it. When coronavirus forced us to reschedule and film her piece earlier than originally thought she agreed to it and absolutely KILLED the piece. She performed a spoken word piece for our Good Friday service and people loved it. It was powerful and just the right tone. I would recommend her for any spoken word or acting piece.
Response from Chá Merri | Poet & Actress:
Thank you so much for this opportunity, Chris! You guys were amazing to work with. Please keep my number and don't hesitate to let me know if you need any more poetry.
Cha Merri was transformative, energetic, and powerful during her time with our students and teachers. Her poetry touched every single person in the auditorium. Her energy was contagious. Her words will change the world and make it a better place one word at a time. I'm beyond grateful she took time to spend with our student body. It was an experience I'll always remember!
