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, and "The Art of Protest" reminded us of the valuable role artists, from Picasso to Banksy, play in activism. You can learn more about all the AtAs by following the links below!

ARTICULATING THE ARTS:
The Art of Protest

April 3-6th, 2019
TADA! Theatre
We've taken samples of the most evocative, relevant, inspiration and effective images of protest art and shared them with our playwrights, and asked them to create new plays from that inspiration. Watching our artists react to the call to activism from past artists might just inspire you, too!

Tales in Time

April 24-27, 2017
Gloria Maddox Theatre, T.Schreiber Studio
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!
