Thank You to All
Who Attended
Articulating the Arts is Articulate Theatre Company's signature benefit event. It brings together our Company members and guest artists with unique works of art to use as a springboard and source of inspiration for new theatre works. 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, Folk City Scenes, moved us from the visual arts to the musical arts, and our fourth let us bring old folklore to the modern stage with Tales in Time.
Today's world has challenged us to look at how artists impact change in the world through protest images, so we shared images from protests over many years and from different countries to inspire today's playwrights to generate new works. Here are the images we gathered, and the stories behind them.
