in collaboration with
Fort Point Theatre Channel
ATB is excited to partner with Fort Point Theater Channel as well as several incredible arts organizations to create a collage-piece of short works drawing on themes from The Tempest, such as the consequences of colonialism, racism, gender stereotypes, immigration, and climate change.
Seeking to create a culture that is diverse, inclusive, equitable, intergenerational, and rooted in community, the Tempest Reconfigured aims to foster connections across partners, neighborhoods, and constituencies—connections that benefit all participants of our city. The project intentionally embraces diversity of races, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, neighborhoods, interests, and socioeconomic levels.
