About
AFTERGLOW is a gathering to Provincetown of both renowned and under-the-radar innovative stage artists evolving the world of live performance.
The Second Annual AFTERGLOW Festival takes place at the Crown & Anchor complex from September 11 through 16, 2012.
The Afterglow Festival honors Provincetown as the birthplace of Modern American Theater, recapturing its evolutionary spirit by presenting staged works from performing artists across a wide spectrum of forms.
Afterglow serves as a destination for international and regional stage artists to express their inimitable creativity and innovation while re-establishing this peerless seaside community as a home for vanguard stagecraft.
This festival fills a niche in the Provincetown arts scene long left vacant. In a performance landscape of community theater productions and summer nightclub entertainment, Afterglow galvanizes progressive, new artists and audiences.
The festival name recognizes the season in which it occurs, post Labor Day and the full glare of summer, a most beautiful and inspiring time in Provincetown. Afterglow invites both performers and the public to bask in artistic expression.
The second annual Afterglow Festival is slated to present a critically and publicly acclaimed roster of live performers including Obie-award winner Taylor Mac, and Golden-globe nominee and Obie-award winner and Best Director at the Sundance Film Festival John Cameron Mitchell.
Conceived by John Cameron Mitchell and Quinn Cox, Afterglow renews the centennial artistic bond between Greenwich Village and Provincetown, enriching the cultural heritage of this great Cape Cod hamlet, making it a post-seasonal destination for international artists and audiences alike.
The second annual Afterglow festival takes place at the Crown & Anchor, September 11-16, 2012. Tickets are available beginning June 2012. The Afterglow Festival operates as a not-for-profit, tax-exempt, 501 (c)(3) organization serving the arts community-at-large. Contributions made to the Afterglow Festival are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
