Get started with Legislative Theatre!

  • Digital Playbook for Practitioners and Policymakers

    The Participation Playbook from People Powered is an interactive guide to help you successfully advocate for and implement a participatory program - Legislative Theatre in particular - for your government or community. It's a tool for people who want to open up government to meaningful and equitable community participation.

  • The Wildcard Workbook

    A Practical Guide for Jokering Forum Theatre is a resource for facilitators of all kinds looking for new ways to bring fun, creativity, and critical thinking into their work! Co-written by Sulu LeoNimm, Liz Morgan, and Katy Rubin based on the work developed by Theatre of the Oppressed NYC (TONYC), this workbook is a graphic, interactive, and accessible guide to inspire and support facilitation in many contexts – we hope you'll scribble in the margins, tear out the pages, and challenge the ideas within.
