Articulating the Arts

Articulating the Arts is Articulate Theatre Company's signature benefit event. It brings together our ensemble members and guest artists with unique works of art to use as a springboard and source of inspiration for new theatre works. Our first session in March 2014, with the theme of "A Thousand Words" was a huge success. Audience comments cited the "smart and nuanced writing," the "wonderfully curated" arc of the evening's  presentation, and how much the professional production values added to the stories. This inspired us to make this a recurring event. Our second session took place in September 2014, with the theme "Off the Wall" and in February of 2016 we tackled American folk music in "Folk City Scenes." "Tales in Time" took us on an inspired journey through children's folklore from around the world. You can learn more about all the AtAs by following the links below!

Our next Articulating the Arts will be inspired by PROTEST ART, such as Banksy and Picasso! To be kept in the loop about that production, sign up for our mailing list by clicking here.

Coming Up...
Our next Articulating the Arts
(as yet unnamed)
is a highly topical one.
We're going to take samples of the most evocative, relevant, inspirational and effective images of protest art and share them with our company playwrights (and some guest playwrights) and ask them to create new plays from that inspiration.

We are raising funds for this production now. You can help by visiting HERE.

Articulating the Arts:
Tales in Time

Articulating the Arts is Articulate Theatre Company's signature benefit event. Our first installment focused on playwrights taking "one image" and giving us "a thousand words." The second one took the images "Off The Wall" and put them on the stage! Our third AtA, we moved from the visual arts to the musical arts, specifically folk music!

Now we are taking a look at the intersection of story telling - where oral traditions meet the written word -
folklore of the world!

A Thousand Words, our playwrights are reacting to classical paintings. They took the "one picture" and reacted with their "thousand words." The result is something we're very proud of! Company members - playwrights, actors, directors, designers - are featured in these whirlwind episodes. You can see details by clicking on the buttons below.
