Hi Deb,
Boal is a great place to start. Process, procedure, theory.
the Theater of the Opresaed reading list should get you lots of what you need. And if you reach out to them- they have great resources. https://www.tonyc.nyc/resources
TONY supported students at my old high school in making a social justice piece that drew attention to gun violence in schools. The students ended up performing it in Times Square during the big walkout. It was really helpful to have a support org outside the school that students could work with to develop their ideas.
I can point you in other directions. But this is a great place to start.

Hi Deb,
Are you looking for dramatic lit? Or theory?

Hello. I'm looking for recommendations for some new texts surrounding Theatre for Social Change for an upcoming HS class. Can anyone recommend with "Theatre of Good Intentions: by Dani Snyder-Young?
Thank you!
