The Alternative Theater Company is a nonprofit collaborative dedicated to stimulating social awareness of the human condition in contemporary society.
The BelieveAbility Virtual Reading Series was presented through until the end of August 2020 with great success with thousands of viewers all told who enjoyed three evenings of Zoom play readings on the various and many ways that people express, celebrate and challenge theirs and each others beliefs in a time when faith has been so important.
Through post show discussions, facebook and zoom chat commentary, polls and website surveys, positive and engaging feedback rushed in about how significant this subject matter was, to so many people. We intend to carry forward 8 of the best of these short plays to the Off-Broadway Showcase production. We will continue to involve a diverse cast and maintain a ratio of at least 50 percent women and/or TGNC individuals on our team of creatives. Approximately 90 dynamic artists were involved in BelieveAbility this past summer and all were given an agreement of first consideration in the production should their play be chosen, if they decide to stay with the project.
Audience members emphasized that more than anything the plays were about compassion, acceptance and connection.
As a result of Covid we were required to postpone our Off-Broadway Showcase Production and plan to reconvene when it is safe to do so. Hopefully, that will be in the Winter of 2024/25.
Although we have continued to keep our social media alive we will now need to make a come back.We intend to launch inventive marketing efforts and a fundraising campaign in the interim to revisit the theme and plays as well as reinvigorate support for the company and subject matter.
We thank you for your patience! We intend to move forward with BelieveAbility as soon as possible, but not until we are assured that we can guarantee the best conditions to do so!
We are excited about opportunities opening up for all artists but your safety and health are our first priority at TATCO!
