What is Social Action Theater about?
Social Action Theater originated to educate UW-La Crosse students and staff about diversity issues, but the group has outreached to other venues including but not limited to elementary schools, nursing homes, middle schools, professional settings, and high schools . Under Robert Krajewski’s guidance, the current emphasis is on advocating change and acceptance through awareness by confronting controversial issues openly. Students are encouraged to share their own experiences while developing the scripts, brainstorming new topics, and ultimately performing the skits. Audience members are also encouraged participate actively through taking on character roles and openly discussing the topic being presented.
