"The fact that a lot of Headlines Theatre's work is participatory terrifies some people, but let me tell you: Headlines' Artistic Director, David Diamond, works such magic — the theatre he creates is so compelling and often so much flat-out fun — that, once you're actually in the theatre, the pull to get up and take part can be stronger than the tide, more subliminally insistent than the force that guides the Ouija board."

Headlines Theatre...
was founded in 1981 by a group of politically active artists. (Beth Kaplan, Anne Hungerford, Suzie Payne, Jay Samwald, Nettie Wild, David Diamond, Heidi Archibald, Colin Thomas, Barbara Clayden and Phillip Tidd). Since then it has produced many hundreds of projects and has become a world leader in community specific, issue-oriented theatre, winning numerous awards. While we call our community work THEATRE FOR LIVING, it is based on Brazilian Director Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed.
What's new...
Additional Theatre for Living training workshop coming up in
FEBRUARY 2011!
Due to the long waiting list for Level One in August 2010, we are now offering a second Level 1 training in February 2011. This initial level of training will delve into Group Building, Image Theatre, and either Rainbow of Desire or Cops in the Head. We will also prepare short plays for a non-public Forum Theatre event.
For more information about the training and to register, click here.
We want to share a letter sent by David Diamond, Headlines' Artistic Director, to Kevin Krueger, BC Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts regarding funding cuts to the arts and democracy, and a letter sent by the Canadian Conference of the Arts to Premier Campbell. (PDF format):
