The 2020 'Mad Priest McAllister' Poetry Readings are in honor of Bob McAllister. Bob taught English at Bainbridge High School for 35 years; directed over 100 BHS theater productions; acted in numerous theater productions for Bainbridge Performing Arts and elsewhere; built many houses; and taught private weekly poetry workshops on Bainbridge Island for over 25 years. Without Bob's influence many local poetry events would not be flourishing as they are today.
