Planned Parenthood delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide.
It all started with a question: What are you afraid of?
The FEAR Project is a play and theatrical action based on interviews about fear. A scripted ensemble piece, the play is a combination of theatrical styles. It contains choral poetry made from verbatim interviews, as well as direct address monologues, and realistic scenes. The theatrical experience includes pre-show interviews and a post- show discussion with the audience centering around the exploration of 13 specific questions.
The FEAR Project aspires to create an atmosphere of restoration by giving people a chance to communicate about fear in a safe and creative space. The FEAR Project has been produced in The Czech Republic, India, Wisconsin and New York City. Each time it is re-created from scratch.
ARULA collaborated with writer/FEAR Project creator Jessica Litwak and built the experience from the first question. The FEAR Project Los Angeles played to a sold-out house on April 27, with all proceeds going to Chrysalis.
Chrysalis is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a pathway to self-sufficiency for homeless and low-income individuals by providing the resources and support needed to find and retain employment.

"TRANSPARENCY, TAXES & TWEETS"
On April 18th, 2017, ARTISTS RISE UP LOS ANGELES produced 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.
