At the intersection of theatre, social justice, and education, you have issue box theatre.
We affectionately think of ourselves as “Actorvists”. We believe in the power of the arts – and particularly theatre, the hope of education, and the importance of social justice. We look for unique and innovative ways to bring the arts to YOU to transform, heal and create space for human dignity.
Traditional theatre does not always meet the needs of the community, in that it requires people to be transported to a specific time/place when a show will take place, people will be required to understand the etiquette of theatre spaces, and will must pay for tickets which may or may not be within budget range for the community member. Because we believe theatre is such an important, life-affirming art form, we look for ways to bring the art form TO the community.

A short film that amplifies the voices of lived marginalized experiencesComment on Facebook
Issue Box Theatre is inviting you to participate in the "I Want You to See Me" Project.
This show is a tapestry of lived experiences told through art performances (poetry, song, dance, digital art... or medium you prefer) and the culminating performance will be viewed as short film, in conjunction with the @ihtsjconference
This performance gives you the space to tell your story and to be seen, heard, and understood.
We are seeking 8-12 individuals who want to amply a story of their identity, walk of life, past experience, or any part of you that you feel needs to be truly "seen".
In our culture of constant sharing, it can often feels like our voices are more silenced and misunderstood than ever before. The "I Want You to See Me" Project creates a space for you to be seen, heard, and understood on your terms.
If you'd like to learn more -- or if you would like to submit a story concept -- please email us at seeme@issueboxtheatre.org
