Interactive Theatre Carolina's Performances Consist of Three Parts:

1. Scripted Scene – 20 min.

  • Audience is introduced to facilitators, format, and ground rules for discussion
  • Audience watches a scripted scene, a realistic situation where characters experience a conflict or series of conflicts
  • The scene ends in a crisis for all the characters, priming the stage for the audience interaction 

2. Audience Interaction (one or more of the following techniques are used) – 35 min.

  • Question/Answer: Audience members can ask the characters any questions they want about what they did in the scene and why
  • Forum Theatre: Audience members can go up on stage and try to change the attitudes and behavior of the characters
  • Image Theatre: Images from the scene are displayed and audience members analyze and discuss their impact 

3. Post-Performance Conversation – 35 min.

  • Audience members engage in constructive, respectful dialogue, led by facilitators, with all points of view welcome
  • Facilitators ask questions, highlight key ideas/themes, and share relevant information.
  • Audience is educated as to the available campus and community resources
