What is Legislative Theatre?
One hour before a Legislative Theatre show, audience members meet with community partners and activists to get prepared to engage on the issues being presented.
WATCH original plays based on the actors’ lived experiences.
ACT on stage to brainstorm alternatives to the problems presented.
Jokers open the stage to Spect-actors to rehearse new ideas.
Everyone writes their ideas on notecards that are processed and sorted by the Policy Advisory Team.
VOTE with government representatives.
Policy-makers present proposals based on the collected ideas.
The crowd debates each idea. All present vote on the proposals.
If the majority of people accept the idea as presented, the government representatives make a promise to act on those ideas after leaving the theatre.
