What is Action Theatre?

Action Theatre/Teatro Acción is an ensemble of English and Spanish speaking actors and non-actors from the community. The group uses experiences from their own lives to create an interactive theatrical performance to be presented at community venues throughout Northern Manhattan and New York City. Rehearsals consist of theatrical debate, theatre games and improvisational exercises that allow participants to uncover the many possible alternatives to real life challenges in a safe and playful environment. The ensemble imagines and rehearses solutions together onstage as preparation to take action offstage.

Who can participate?

The group is open to all English and Spanish speakers over the age of 16 and is on a Pay-What-You-Can basis. Please come join us and see what it's all about!

How was it started?

Action Theatre/Teatro Acción is based on theatrical forms developed by Brazilian Theatre Practitioner Augusto Boal in the 1960's called Theatre of the Oppressed. Although Boal, a 2008 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, died in May 2009, his work continues to give voice to peoples throughout the world.
