The Tenth Annual Afterglow Festival slated for this September is postponed until further notice. Meanwhile, we are activating our non-profit organization so to provide an Artists Fund, in effect, commissioning performers to create and develop new work to be performed at a later date and perhaps recorded in the process so that we might present an Afterglow Film(ed) Festival safely, outdoors, somewhere like at our beautiful Drive-In here on the Outer Cape. The Afterglow Festival is unique in its mission to preserve Provincetown's heritage as the birthplace of Modern American Theater and Performance, dedicated as we are to continuing P-Town's legacy as a welcoming place for non-commercial performing artists, working in myriad forms, to come to our shores and stages to experiment, explore and expand their artistic scope and vision. No longer a sleepy fishing village filled with "fringe" artists who can live and create on a shoestring, the only way we can keep this progressive tradition alive is via non-profit means. For a decade now, Afterglow has brought scores of performing artists to Provincetown, keeping our rich stage history alive and thriving in a place and at a time when Provincetown's birthright could so easily be lost. Please help us help both would-be visiting and local performers stay afloat and create their important and inspiring works. Afterglow Festival, P.O. Box 129, Provincetown, MA 02657. www.afterglowfestival.org/sponsorships www.afterglowfestival.org/donations
