The Ensemble Theatre's Act One Young Professionals Present 2nd Annual Drama-try[Tree]: A Dramatic Night of Poetry, 4/27

The Ensemble Theatre's Act One Young Professionals celebrate National Poetry Month with their 2^nd Annual poetry event entitled: Drama-try_[Tree]: A Dramatic Night of Poetry, Saturday, April 27, 2013, 7:00 p.m. in the theatre's Performance Centre space.

Mayor Annise Parker's recent city initiative to find Houston's first Poet Laureate is creating buzz on all poetry platforms. Performance poetry sets can be found drawing audiences all over the city including, clubs, coffee houses, arts venues, and university campuses. The range of experience spans from novice to seasoned poets. Some of them even working as educators with literacy and writing programs or using their talents to support other community causes.

The showcase at The Ensemble Theatre features both experienced and rising artists on the Houston Area poetry scene. Their individual styles of performance poetry will allow audiences to experience the dramatics of spoken word art.

"Houston continues to attract a growing population of chic and savvy young professionals who are very astute when it comes to the arts and community involvement," says Pam Ulmer, Act One Chair. "We hope to create a synergy between artists, young professionals, and The Ensemble Theatre, especially since Midtown is now a state designated Cultural Arts and Entertainment District."
