Our Logo
Designed by our Former Board of Directors President, Mickie Alburquerque, in the Summer of 1996 during TEBA’s second Summer Theater Seminar held in McCarren Park, Brooklyn, New York. It’s symbolizes TEBA’s philosophy; the message (the author/director), the messenger (the actors) and the receiver (the audience). This year, 2015, JEM Media, update the logo as part of the TEBA’s first theater festival “En un Acto”- Theater & Film Festival.
