The theme for the upcoming Rainbow Theater Festival 2010
is Art, also known as the color turquoise on the Rainbow
Pride Flag.
Inspired by the
original Rainbow Pride Flag this festival presents a series of
performances each year during the months of April and May centered on one of these rainbow colors.
In 1978, Gilbert Baker, a San Francisco artist
designed the Rainbow Pride Flag so that the gay
community could have a symbol to rally around.
This original flag had eight stripes each representing a
different facet of gay life.
Pink (sexuality), red (life), orange (healing), yellow
(sun), green (nature), turquoise (art), indigo (harmony)
and violet (spirit).
When the flag was later mass produced pink and turquoise
were dropped and indigo was changed to blue due to production
constraints.The Rainbow Theater
Festival is a series of events produced and developed by
Bread & Water Theatre; a Rochester, New York based
not-for-profit arts institution.
