Texas Artist Series: Performance Poetry with "Outspoken" Bean

Join us for an evening celebrating Texas’s longstanding tradition of telling stories through poetic verse. Houston-based performance poet Emanuelee “Outspoken” Bean will perform his one-man show entitled Converse featuring Outspoken Bean. Converse is a one-man show that includes both scripted elements and conversations with audience members. Converse is a funny, blunt journey through Bean’s life using the medium of poetry to explore grief, growth, love and laughter.

Arrive early to engage with the artist at this all ages show.

This program is part of the Texas Art and Culture Series which is generously support by Lone Star Beer—The National Beer of Texas.
