Welcome to the ARTISTS RISE UP LOS ANGELES blog. We are a group of artists committed to positive and revolutionary change in response to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Using our unique and diverse artistic voices, we create original theatre and art, and donate all proceeds from our events to charitable organizations dedicated to bringing social justice to the world.
In January 2017, ARULA produced a one-night benefit show, “E Pluribus Unum – Out of Many, One,” consisting of more than thirty pieces, including short scenes, monologues, music, dance and video – each uniquely addressing the quandary in which we find ourselves post-election. The result – a sold out, critically-acclaimed show that provided not only entertainment, but a catharsis for those in attendance. Click to read the Los Angeles Times review.
We recently produced our second show, "Transparency, Taxes & Tweets," a night of music and comedy, to benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center. Many talented artists took the stage, including the evening’s headliner, “the Liberal Redneck,” Trae Crowder. "Transparency, Taxes & Tweets" celebrated the union of actors, comedians, musicians and dancers, and the laughter that emanated from the audience was a welcome respite from the current political climate.
We are thrilled that you are here! Come to a show. Share what causes you're passionate about. Whether you're an artist, activist, or have support for social justice, RISE UP!
