Interactive Theatre — A Community Enhancement Initiative

Our goal is to foster awareness and dialogue on sensitive issues such as diversity, sexual harassment and workplace relationships. The program itself does not prescribe definitive solutions but rather provides a forum from which participants can work together to enhance understanding and inclusion.

Actors will present a scenario on subject matter relevant to the workplace and classroom. Afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to question the characters on their thoughts, feelings, motivations and actions. A facilitator then processes the group's responses and promotes awareness and insight during a learning dialogue.

Scenarios:

"The Talking To" –Diversity
"Something's Wrong" –Sexual Harassment
"Moving On" –Sexual Harrassment in the academic setting
"The Remark" –Chilly Climate
"Learning the Ropes" –Workplace Relationships
"A Job Well Done" –Worplace Relationships
"Ranking" –Diversity
"The Desk" –Respect
"The Fix" –Conflict Management
