Join us in the theater for the annual celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Recognizing the importance of original writing in our society, this series has become an annual community favorite bringing together young emerging writers and poets with established spoken word artists. The evening is structured to give young creators, writers, and poets a chance to perform their works on stage and, after intermission, an opportunity to experience an accomplished wordsmith. This year we will hear a selection of spoken word poetry, music, and more from passionate community members.
This event is free and open to the public. This event is general admission seating, and no seat reservations are required.
We would like to take this opportunity to recognize and welcome our special guest speaker for this event, Nicholas Wedlow.
Meet our Guest Speaker:
Nicholas J. Wedlow is an author best known for his thought-provoking works that often explore themes of family dynamics, personal growth, and the complexities of relationships. His book Overnight Father delves into the challenges of fatherhood, particularly the sudden and unexpected responsibilities that come with becoming a father. The story centers around the transformation of a man who, overnight, finds himself in the role of a father, navigating the struggles and rewards of this new identity. Through the protagonist’s journey, Wedlow explores themes of personal transformation, resilience, and the profound impact of parenthood on one’s life. The book offers a poignant look at how a single moment can forever change the course of a person’s life and how love and commitment redefine what it means to be a father.
