Since 1947, The Living Theatre has created an imaginative alternative to the commercial stage by using the theatre to further social change.

The Living Theatre Workshops have made theatre come alive for hundreds since it began in 2002. We have helped create acclaimed work at Vassar and Skidmore colleges, the Boston Conservatory as well as Boston College, and more.
But we also work with high school kids and old folks, as well as special needs groups.
