Mandala Center for Change presents an international cast of 40 in:

“WAGING PEACE - DESIGNING JUSTICE”
Interactive Performance and Community Dialogue

When: Friday, June 27th  @ 7:30 PM
Where: The Masonic Hall – 1338 Jefferson St. - Port Townsend, WA
Cost: FREE  (donations welcome to benefit the Boiler Room)
Info: 360-344-3435 or info at mandalaforchange.com

The Mandala Center for Change presents “Waging Peace – Designing 
Justice” - a special public Forum Theater performance and community 
dialogue on Friday, June 27th at 7:30 PM.  This participatory event 
will take place at the Masonic Hall – 1338 Jefferson St. in uptown
 Port 
Townsend.  Admission is FREE with donations gratefully accepted to 
benefit the Boiler Room – PT’s youth driven coffee house and
 community 
center.  No advance reservations are necessary however chairs are 
limited so early arrival is recommended.  For more info contact: 
360-344-3435 or info at mandalaforchange.com.

With a cast of nearly 40 people, teens to elders, from across the U.S. 
and abroad, this Forum Theatre event is the culmination of a week-long 
intensive training in Theater of the Oppressed (also known as Theatre 
of Liberation, Theatre for Living) techniques and is created and 
performed by the participants including several members of the Mandala 
Center's local Poetic Justice Theatre Ensemble.  Under the guidance of 
facilitator, Marc Weinblatt, the audience will choose from several 
pre-scripted short plays depicting social issues relevant to the 
community at large.  The selected plays will be performed a second time

at which point the audience will be invited to stop the action and 
improvise their solutions to the problems at hand.  Themes from past 
annual events have included racism, sexism, homophobia, globalization, 
poverty, the education system, disability, and the war in Iraq.

This creative forum will not tell people what to think but instead will

invite people to think.  All opinions will be welcome and valued.  
Through the evocative and universal language of theatre, everyone is 
invited to share wisdom on the issues at hand.  It can literally be a 
rehearsal for the future in which audience “spect-actors” take
 action 
towards creating the kind of world they want.  Come participate 
actively or simply sit back and witness the process.

This unique approach to theater as community dialogue can be playful, 
intense, hilarious, deeply moving, and enlightening.  Audiences are 
frequently left with richer awareness as well as a greater belief in 
their ability to effect change in their own lives and the world around 
them.  Although the themes tend to be sophistocated, children with a 
high attention span are welcome and can get much out this engaging 
experience.

As created by Brazilian visionary, Augusto Boal, Theatre of the 
Oppressed is a form of popular community based education which uses 
theater as a tool for transformation.  Originally developed out of 
Boal’s work with peasant and worker populations, it is now used all 
over the world for social and political activism, conflict resolution, 
community building, therapy, and government legislation.

Based in Port Townsend, WA, the Mandala Center is a multi-disciplinary 
education organization dedicated to community dialogue, social justice,

and societal transformation. Through experiential workshops, theatre 
performances, and other creative events, the Mandala Center invites 
people to be more awake and alive as well as empowered to take action 
towards a more just and joyous life for all people. The Center is also

an active international hub for the training and grassroots practice of

Theatre of the Oppressed and the home of the Poetic Justice Theatre 
Ensemble.
