Human Rights Theatre Project by Epic Theatre Ensemble

Human Rights Theatre Project, ideal for an ELA, History, or Civics curriculum, asks students to balance research and creativity in order to bring a current human rights issue to life. They select a news article about a current human rights violation. Inspired by their selections, students research, write, and revise a short human rights play.
