The Justice Theater Project is opening its fourth season of acclaimed performances with a classic piece, Bertolt Brecht's 'Mother Courage and Her Children.' Part drama, part musical, this play entertains and engages the audience while following the life of Mother Courage and her three children. This epic piece is considered a theatrical experience that critically and objectively assesses the effects of war. What impact does war have on the least among us? Who and how does it exploit? The play will resonate with contemporary audiences, connecting current political policy and situations to the historical context within which Brecht set this classic piece. The intent of the piece was to show the dreadfulness of war and the loss of virtue in corrupt times. In the decades since its debut, the play has grown to be regarded as one of the twentieth century’s landmark dramas and a potent condemnation of war.

The Line in the Sand was written by a group of actors and writers from Catholic Relief Services (a national organization based in Baltimore, MD), who visited areas on both sides of the border between Mexico and Arizona in 2005 and interviewed citizens of both countries, immigrants and non-immigrants.
The play presents the dire situation that those people find themselves in. Not only is the story line compelling and moving, but it is told in the voices of real people and shows the various ways that many people, again not just immigrants, are affected by the lack of practical and humane immigration legislation.

Thank you to all the patrons that were able to come out on Friday night and interact with the teens. The teens did a magnificent job and we are proud of their accomplishments.
The Justice Theater Project presented one evening of interactive performances based on scripts created by local farmworker teens. A facilitator guided the audience as they asked questions, stopped the show, and became a part of the event. Rooted in Augusto Boal's Forum Theatre model, The Justice Theater Project's objective is to create discourse around issues of social concern, firmly situating JTP as the only theater company of its kind in Central North Carolina.
