What is Forum Theater?
It’s a fun, transformative tool that brings youth & adults together to investigate community problems and brainstorm solutions through the use of critical thinking games and activities. Participants create a play based on their own experiences with oppression and injustices. During the Sunday performance, the public audience is invited to come up on stage and change the outcomes by acting out their own approach to finding solutions for these real life problems.
