Whatever your story is, Theatre of the Oppressed wants you to share it. Actually, they want you to play it. Through a series of guided theater exercises, Philly residents will transform snapshots from our shared metropolitan existence into human still lifes — you can be that sheepish baby munching on a Sno Cone or the couple exchanging expletives on the park bench. As the workshop heats up, participants will have the chance to tackle bigger issues: Class, race and relationships are all fair game.
