Engaged Theatre
Realizing the power of the theatrical event to bring about extraordinary communion between audience and performer is at the core of Freehold's mission.
Our Engaged Theatre program has developed partnerships with organizations that represent culturally under-served populations in our larger community. We tour to these unique populations with performances and workshops.
Our Community Partners
Washington Correction Center for Women (WCCW), Monroe Detention Center, Echo Glen Children's Detention Center, New Futures, and Harborview Hospital
Benefits for our Artists and Our Community
- Our actors are introduced to individuals living through extraordinary circumstances, which informs both their character choices and performance; they must perform with greater truth and generosity.
- Engagement in the creative process empowers the voices and imaginations of community participants and builds trust within the communities.
