Description
The Excelano Project is Penn's premier spoken word poetry group. But EP goes beyond the poetry; we are a family. This group is about finding voice. It is dedicated to the power of the mic and using personal experience to touch the lives of audience members. It’s about breaking down barriers. It’s about holding a speaker up to life’s white noise, to find that every one of us can be heard.
Our Fall 2018 show, Entropy, will take place on Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th of November at 8pm. Doors open 15 minutes before showtime at Rainey Auditorium in the Penn Museum.
Tickets will be sold on Locust Walk, beginning Monday, 11/5. Cash and Venmo accepted. $8 Pre-sale. $10 at the door. $7 for groups of 5 or more. If you would like to pay with Venmo, please send payments to @excelano, indicate in the subject line whether you'd like a Friday or Saturday ticket & whether you'd like to pick up your ticket or use will call, and notify an Excelano member so we can put you into our system & ensure you get a seat.
Special shoutout to poet Nadia Kim for creating and designing our promo materials!

Organizer of The Excelano Project Presents: Entropy
The Excelano Project is the University of Pennsylvania’s first and only spoken word group. (Supposedly) derived from Latin, “excelano” means “we march forth” and from its foundation 15 years ago by poets and then Penn students Carlos Gomez and Warren Longmire, EP has been doing just that.
But EP goes beyond the poetry; we are a family. This group is about finding voice. It is dedicated to the power of the mic and using personal experience to touch the lives of audience members. It’s about breaking down barriers. It’s about holding a speaker up to life’s white noise, to find that every one of us can be heard.
