Headlines Theatre, Theatre for Living. Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Welcome to Headlines' website.

The Company was founded in 1981 by a group of politically active artists. 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.

Headlines' work is fun. We've tried to make this site reflect that. Enjoy.

"The fact that a lot of Headlines Theatres 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."
-- Colin Thomas, George Straight (Feb. 1997)
