SETTING THE STAGE FOR BRIGHTER FUTURES
The transformative power of our theatre residencies sets the stage for young people in developing countries to overcome the barriers of poverty and inequality.
International Theatre Project students learn how to present their ideas confidently, solve problems collaboratively and look at themselves and their world differently.
OUR MISSION
The International Theater Project uses theater as a catalyst for education, self-discovery and empowerment among young people in disenfranchised communities worldwide. We strive to nurture their voices as future leaders for change and community development.
