TONYC: Concrete Justice

Theatre of the Oppressed NYC has established “popular theatre troupes” all over New York City which devise and tour original, interactive plays inspired by real-life struggles. Each troupe creates one to two shows a year which are performed in theatres, community centers, shelters and drop-in centers; and at conferences and festivals including TONYC’s own annual Legislative Theatre Festival, and use Theatre of the Oppressed as a medium for communal problem-solving around the issues of homelessness, joblessness and related discrimination. The troupe began as the Jan Hus Theatre Troupe in 2010. They have also been hosted by the New York Society for Ethical Culture, and are now based at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in Harlem.
