AFF Underground
Re-launched in June 2005, AFF Underground brings the best of Washington, D.C.'s cultural offerings to AFF members. With theater, music, film, dance and more, Underground goes beyond--or beneath--politics. You've wanted to get out and see more of what D.C. has to offer. Underground takes you there. And if you're a Founder's Club member, it's at a discount.
The future of freedom rides on more than election cycles and the front page political debates. It also involves cultural products--literature, film, theater, music--that portray different ways of understanding how the world works and how we deal with complex personal and social issues.
With this in mind, AFF Underground seeks to provide a venue for its members to experience, participate in, and learn about art and culture, and facilitate personally meaningful, or simply enjoyable, shared cultural experiences. The program involves a unique array of local cultural offerings across a wide range of genres and allows AFF members to participate in them as small groups of like-minded, familiar people. AFF Underground is an important part of expanding and fulfilling AFF's mission: to advance the prospects for liberty by cultivating the talent of future leaders.
