The People's Theater Project works with immigrant youth in NYC:
"Immigrant youth have been sold a story that they have little value in our society and their voices don't matter. They are growing up in a fractured political system with diminishing public trust in our national leaders, and many feel disempowered to make a difference.
We are flipping that narrative by bringing immigrant youth center stage in an ongoing theatrical dialogue with community stakeholders. Throughout history and across cultures, theatre has been used to inspire and move social justice forward, and we are carrying on that important tradition.
We are activating our next generation of artists, innovators and change-makers. We work with them over time to build a critical understanding of the social forces that affect their daily lives and fine-tune their own creative voices to describe their realities and discover their collective power."
