IATI Theater Celebrates Pride 2019

IATI Theater, a 50-year-old New York theater institution, joins the celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride and World Pride 2019 with its own PRIDE CELEBRATION 2019.

Their efforts to promote diversity and raise social awareness are as strong as the first day. That's why IATI Theater is offering a platform to a diverse group of LGBTQ+ artists and invite us to visit their imaginations and be part of their stories.

IATI Theater became the first Latino company to raise funds to help victims during the AIDS epidemic in the 80s and our company has supported and been a part of the LGBTQ+ community. We've worked towards raising awareness, fighting for equality, and most importantly, serving as a platform for minorities to share their voices and stories.

Join in the 2019 PRIDE CELEBRATION featuring the following events:

Panel: Queer Art & The Politicization of Identity | MORE INFO + RSVP
Saturday, June 22 / 5PM - IATI Studio

?The intersection of identity politics and art making has always been charged-- but in today's click bait culture-- language policing and acting "correctly" threatens the very foundations of what it means to freely create. We invite a diverse group of artists, creators, and thinkers together to discuss how they approach existing in this current climate-- and how to get your voice and perspective heard.
