Each year, JTP explores in-depth a theme of social justice concern.
2009-10 finds us all turning back to the family .How family is affected when our fathers, sons, mothers and daughters come back from war. How a family of sisters so solidly held together all of their lives can be suddenly scattered to the winds on the breath of a radio wave. How a family desperately wanting more for their children can resent them for the opportunities that they themselves were denied. How families are made and remade after overcoming great obstacles.
Thought-provoking. Entertaining. Inspiring.
The Justice Theater Project is a non-profit theater company dedicated to the idea that art inspires change.
