Theaters Against War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theaters Against War (THAW), is a coalition of theaters and volunteer theater artists organized to protest the Iraq war and the perceived concomitant restrictions on civil liberties in the US.[1] Currently, THAW has more than 250 member theaters, largely in New York City, but with some representation through the United States and abroad.[2]
THAW was formed at a meeting at Performance Space 122 in New York City on December 9, 2002[3] to organize a citywide theater-based anti-war protest for March 2, 2003.[4][5] After the initial protest, THAW continued to participate in protests and theater events, such as 2006's Culture Project Impact Festival[6] and United for Peace and Justice's March 18, 2007 "NYC March to End the War".[7] [8]
