Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council CHANCE THEATER will offer two six-week workshops for local veterans to collaborate and create a work of devised theater. The workshop will give full scholarships to all participants and use theater as a means for rehabilitation and expression by talking about their experiences and sharing with their families, fellow veterans, and members of the public a better understanding of the life of a veteran–its challenges as well as its points of pride.
Organization Summary
Our production season presents socially-conscious, provocative, intimate theater experiences for a diverse audience. Our post-show audience engagement program hosts discussions after every performance. Furthering our goal to provide audiences with access to the creative process, our OTR “On the Radar” new works development series consists of 3-4 readings and 1-2 workshops per year. Designed to foster the educational and emotional growth of young people, our Theater for Young Audience (TYA) series have adult actors performing work geared towards young people. With our Veterans Initiative, we continue our outreach to vets by giving them a voice through storytelling workshops. Finally, our education programs are designed to reinforce the truth that theater is a place for expression and connection.
