Theater for Change

This youth theater company, trained by ArtCorps Artist Cristian Beltrán, has made a name for itself by performing plays about conservation, corruption and other social issues in their own communities and in theater festivals around the country.

"Guatemalan society doesn't speak up because of the very problems that exist in our communities. [As actors for social change], we communicate what [our society] is too afraid to say."
~Carlos Soza Monterroso, Youth Leader, ACOFOP, Guatemala
