ITP returns to Philipi Township outside of Cape Town, South Africa for year eleven of our RISING VOICES residency with a special tour of the original student plays throughout Townships outside Cape Town. This year we are expanding our programs two other Townships by adding two new community partners. We will double the number of young people we work with to 100.

In 2018 ITP finished a seven year residency at the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village, an orphanage and boarding school for some of Rwanda's most vulnerable youth. We e are exploring new residencies in Kigali and at the Rwinkwavu Library and Community Center in rural Rwanda.

OPEN DOORS is a new program ITP will pilot in the next year creating residencies for immigrant communities in New York City.
