Mixed Blessings

Forum Theatre is an extremely empowering, engaging form of theatre with an aim to change the spectator from a passive observer to an active participant. The audience offers suggestions, solutions and alternatives with the hope of changing the destiny of the protagonist, or in this case, protagonists.

The philosophy behind this model is that if no one tries to change things within society, the world would remain the same. Mixed Blessings deals with weighty issues such as race, religion, culture and tradition. It's unsettling when we are reminded that prejudice and intolerance are still right around the corner.

The issues raised and characters portrayed in this play will seem familiar, and for many of us, it will be close to our hearts.
