What is Interactive Theatre?
Actors will present characters and conflicts on stage and then facilitate a dialogue processing the issues. The audience will have an opportunity to interact with the characters on stage. This approach helps audience members explore their own behaviors. Sponsored by the Offices of the Provost and the Graduate School.
