Inspiring the Next Generation at Proctor High School Through Poetry!

On May 1, 2025, Broadway Utica, in collaboration with Integrated Community Alternatives Network (ICAN), had the incredible opportunity to bring the Mayhem Poets to Proctor High School for an unforgettable performance with our 9th-grade students!

The Mayhem Poets, a dynamic group of spoken word artists, captivated students with their high-energy blend of poetry, hip-hop, and theater. Through humor, rhythm, and powerful language, they addressed social issues, shared personal stories, and empowered students to embrace their own voices.

This performance wasn’t just about entertainment, it was a chance for students to connect with the power of words, self-expression, and resilience. The students absolutely loved the experience!

Huge thanks to the Mayhem Poets for inspiring our students and helping them see the power of creative expression in a whole new way!
