Spoken Word with The Prosers Live on Facebook

Join us for an evening of spoken word poetry with the The Prosers, broadcasted live on Towngate Theatre’s Facebook page beginning at 8pm Saturday, January 23.

Take a mesmerizing journey with The Prosers, a group of local spoken-word artists, as they perform a series of self-written poetry. Poets will share their own stories and authentic experiences – exploring the connection between poetry and personal expression.

Spoken word poetry has a special swagger…

This isn’t your grandma’s poetry reading.  Because the rules are not the same as traditional poetry, spoken word poetry has a special swagger. It is literary rap, impassioned commentary, uninhibited word art, poetry and improvisation all wrapped up in one package. And, it is written to be performed.

Towngate Theatre is more than theater…

Towngate’s Second Season enhances Wheeling’s arts landscape with literary programming, spoken word performances, improvisation and more. Programs often feature works by emerging and/or local authors, playwrights and poets.
