There are many opportunities for the Pottstown community to enjoy the arts, but two groups offer the chance for the audience to participate. The Mad Poets Society, which meets in downtown Pottstown at Churchill's Chocolatier, and the Arts & Activities Alliance of Building a Better Boyertown, which meets at the new Hard Bean cafe.
If you'd like to come out and express yourself in words, take note of the following:
