The international development NGO Tearfund offers an excellent overview of why theatre can be a strong tool to promote development in communities around the world. In this article, they list several sectors for which theatre can be especially helpful, with an emphasis on education and issue discourse. The strengths of theatre are many and, according to Tearfund, include things like expanding education, encouraging participation in community matters, political advocacy, and mental-emotional therapy.
