Gram-O-Rama

Gram-O-Rama has been a UNC tradition for over 40 years now. Students from ENGL 308 use wordplay, word power, linguistic acrobatics, the elasticity of syntax, and the profundity of the absurd and incongruous to write and perform pieces that explore the music of language and the collusion of sense and nonsense.

Gram-O-Rama: Phrased & Confused

If John Lennon, Gertrude Stein, Stephen Hawking, and Mother Goose had conspired to teach a course in grammar at UNC, GRAM-O-RAMA would be it.

This is not your grandma’s grammar class. Creative students who love word play, music, rhythm, sketch comedy, performance, nonsense, and the circusy possibilities of language write exercises to specific prompts from Daphne Athas’s maverick text and learn the joys of breaking the rules of grammar to understand why we have them. Now this year's class is ready to show you the best, weirdest, most wonderful linguistic experiments-- 20 side-splitting (and infinitive-splitting) sketches, songs, and chants.
