His artistic practice, his advocacy, and his spirit has helped sustain and grow our artist community here and well beyond Massachusetts. We all owe him thanks for the incredible work he did during the HIV\/AIDS Crisis and continues to do to ensure the LGBTQ community can thrive. MALC is proud to be able to give Abe this award to show our appreciation to him.<\/p>\n<h4>Profile: <strong>Abe Rybeck<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Playwright and Organizational Consultant Abe Rybeck is best known as the founder of The Theater Offensive (TTO), New England&#8217;s largest and longest running LGBTQ performance group, which he led for over 30 years. His mission is to work across cultures and generations to create art that engages people in movements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He created such groundbreaking TTO programs as True Colors: OUT Youth Theater; A Street Theater Named Desire; OUT on the Edge Queer Theater Festival; the OUT in Your Neighborhood Series; and the Plays at Work development program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 1984 he co-founded the seminal gay guerrilla theater troupe, United Fruit Company. From 1989-1994 he fronted the hard-edge cabaret band Adult Children of Heterosexuals. In 2012 Abe joined the Board of the National Performance Network, eventually serving as its Chair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As a playwright, Abe won the 2007 Jonathan Larson Award for musical theater. His theatrical works include Pure PolyESTHER: a biblical burlesque, Blame it on the Big Banana; I Am What I Wear; An Evening of Rachel Tension Among Friends; Immaculate Infection; Dirt; This is Not a Test; Breaking the [Dress] Code; Hello Goodbye Peace; and Bombshell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">True Colors, which Abe founded, received the 2016 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award from First Lady Michelle Obama at The White House. Abe was declared one of the &#8220;Heeb 100&#8221; progressive Jewish world cultural leaders; he received the 2015 History Maker Award from The History Project; and The 2015 Bayard Rustin Award for fighting racism and homophobia. He holds Certificates in Chief Executive Leadership for Community and Culture from National Arts Strategies; Executive Arts Leadership from the Harvard Kennedy School; and Executive Innovation from EMS Arts Innovation Lab. Abe is most proud that the South End Dynamite, a Boricua girls twirling team in TTO&#8217;s neighborhood, named him &#8220;Honorary Drum Majorette&#8221;.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsunderthedome.org\/annualevent.html\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">SAVE THE DATE &amp; REGISTER!!<\/span><\/a><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">The 13th Annual Artists Under the Dome Event 2019<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Monday, NOVEMBER 18th, 2019<br \/>\n9:30am to 1pm<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Massachusetts State House&#8217;s Great Hall<\/span><\/h6>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Free and Open to All<\/span><\/h5>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Questions?<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/artistsunderthedome.org\/annualevent.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #993366;\">http:\/\/artistsunderthedome.org\/annualevent.html<\/span><\/a><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[sexybutton size=&#8221;xl&#8221; color=&#8221;magenta&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/register-for-the-artists-under-the-dome-event&#8221; icon=&#8221;noicon&#8221;]RSVP[\/sexybutton]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we lead up to 13th Annual \u201cArtists Under The Dome\u201d Event\u00a0and the MALC 2019 \u201cChampion of Artists\u201d Awards on November 18, 2019, at the State House, we are highlighting each of the five \u201cChampion of Artists\u201d awardees.
