In Defense of the Arts
In Defense of the Arts (IDOA)
is an affinity group which brings together members and supporters of the local
defense and government contracting community to support the presentation of
classical theatre and make theatre accessible to our work force, with a particular
focus on disabled veterans temporarily housed in Washington, DC.
In 2010, the Shakespeare Theatre Company will present a Leadership Repertory
during which two of Shakespeare’s greatest military characters will share
the stage of Sidney Harman Hall. Performances of Richard II, a tragedy
set in the context of controversy over war taxes and military spending, and Henry
V, which has been variously interpreted to celebrate the English military
victory and to question the glory of war, will alternate on the same stage
between February 2 and April 11.
“From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers...”
Henry V, act 4, scene 3
Support of the IDOA Leadership Series allows you to position your organization
as a leader in the defense industry and provides you the opportunity to “present” the
important lessons of these Shakespearean productions to federal decision makers,
key clients and staff.
