The 23 co-artistic directors of Fort Point Theatre Channel invite you to join us in celebrating FPTCs 10th anniversary. Enjoy free music, dance, spoken words, and visual art, plus food and drink donated by local merchants.
Reborn for the occasion is the Carny Band. Its original music highlighted "Carny Knowledge: A Sideshow Extravaganza," "Dreambook: A New Orleans Story," and other FPTC productions. Special guest: Peter Tork of The Monkees rejoins the Carny Band for the party.
And music also from Jacques Pardo and friends: Jacques Pardo sax & guitar, Regioe Gibson vocals & percussion, Perry Bakalos guitar, Steve Davis bass
The exhibit features a panoply of memories from the many artists who have worked with the organization. The works on display include sketches, posters, videos, paintings, photographs, sculptures, costumes, props, set pieces, and underwear.
All this takes place in the Midway Studios Gallery at Midway Artist Studios, Bostons largest affordable live-work building. Midway Artist Studios was born in 2005 as an affordable place for artists to live and work in Boston, when the real estate boom displaced hundreds of working artists from Fort Point. In 2014, the artists organized to purchase the building and make it permanently artist-controlled.
Fort Point Theatre Channel is dedicated to creating and sustaining new configurations of the performing arts. It brings together an ensemble of artists from the worlds of theater, music, visual arts, and everything in between, as a forum for collaborative expression, while also contributing artistically to their communities.
Resident at Midway Studios, FPTC grows out of Fort Points unique, artist-grounded community. Every project is distinctive, built upon the diverse mix of arts represented by a core group of artistic directors, now numbering 23: Mitchel King Ahern, Mario Avila, Olivia Brownlee, Rick Dorff, Mary Driscoll, Danny Gessner, Kathryn Howell, Naomi Ibasitas, Heather Kapplow, Ian W. King, Greg Kowalski, Anne Loyer, Juliana Merhaut, Roberto Mighty, Marc S. Miller, Christine Noah, Sally Nutt, Hana Pegrimkova, Susan Paino, Nick Thorkelson, Douglas Urbank, Daniel J. van Ackere, and Mark Warhol.
