Program Description

Event Details

Theatre of the Oppressed is a series of theatre activities and games that engages communities in social change. Our workshops will organize local teens to form theatre troupes. These troupes will devise and perform plays based on the challenges confronting them including economic inequality, racism, and other social, educational, health and human rights injustices. Teens will learn how to perform live, interactive plays inspired by real-life struggles – the problems they face everyday – with the intention of engaging peers in theatrical problem-solving which can help inspire concrete, social action.
