When founded in 1988, HealthWorks Theatre (then
known as AIDS Educational Theatre) brought together a community of committed
artists and citizens who recognized the power of theatre to affect social
change. These artists realized their creative vision could produce a meaningful
and accessible alternative approach to the education of teen violence, drug
and alcohol abuse, self-esteem, and AIDS prevention. They also understood
how prevention must begin at an age when young people begin making their
own choices about their bodies and future. It was not just a question of
providing facts and information, but rather of offering crucial decision-making
and conflict resolution skills. |
