Join Marty Cohen as he presents his poems – it's as simple as that. Marty's poetry runs the gamut from funny to serious, quirky to political, introspective to rant. Marty has had over twenty poems published. He was drafted and spent two years in the Army, fortunately in Heidelberg, Germany instead of Vietnam. He loves dancing, and his favorite dances are West Coast Swing, Waltz, Foxtrot, and Bolero. Now a retired engineer, he has spent the last five years learning improv, mostly at the Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica. He has appeared in six plays created via the Santa Monica Playhouse's Actors' Workshop ShortBurst® Theatre Project.
