Towngate’s “Second Season”

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

Towngate is more than just theater…

A church-turned-theater, Towngate is located in Wheeling’s historic Centre Market District. Towngate is a cornerstone of creative life in Wheeling and serves as an entertainment destination for residents of Wheeling, the Upper Ohio Valley and beyond. People of all ages and backgrounds gather here to create and experience art onstage.

At Towngate, you can watch live theater. Listen to poetry and spoken word performances.  Bring the kiddos to a children’s theater production. Attend a ballet. You can take a class or audition for a play. We also showcase improvisational comedy. Local and regional musicians also perform on the Towngate stage. You can see movies, too. Enjoy hundreds of live performances, concerts, events and classes year-round. See you at Towngate!
