Bond Street Theatre initiates theatre-based projects for conflict resolution, education and empowerment in critical areas worldwide.

Myanmar
Theatre for Civic Engagement

Bond Street begins a Youth Initiative for Civic Engagement aimed at curbing the recent rise of sectarian violence in Myanmar.  The project gives youth new skills in leadership and problem-solving through theatre-based activities. The collaborative project is generously sponsored by the Open Society Foundation.

In addition to the Youth Initiative, Bond Street continues its collaboration with theatre group Thukhuma Khayeethe on a unique, dual-language production of Volpone.  We thank the Theatre Communications Group for their support.

Afghanistan
Voter Education Project

The program, using theatre to promote voter rights and women's participation in the Afghan presidential elections, had measurable impact on voter turnout.  Six Afghan theatre troupes presented 285 shows to more than 150,000 people over the last year. The project prepared hundreds of youth who were voting for the first time, and reached women in rural villages. 
The project is supported by the United States Institute of Peace:
Using Theatre to Mitigate Election Fraud in Afghanistan.

Women's Prison Program
Afghanistan

BST will initiate a Creative Arts Program for incarcerated women in the Herat Women's Prison in Afghanistan. The program gives women a voice to speak out about the uneven judicial practices that imprison women on moral grounds. We thank the generous women of Dining for Women for their sponsorship.
