Documentary theatre Documentary Theatre uses accounts from documentary material such as articles, interviews, and public transcripts in order to create a performance that reflects upon specific events or movements in history. This type of theatre can be used to educate the audience on the subject matter and it is often used to prompt conversation about potentially sensitive topics or topics that do not receive extensive media coverage or coverage in popular culture. Examples of Documentary theatre The Laramie Project: Playwrights conducted interviews on the people of the town of Laramie, took news clippings, and also journals entries of the townspeople in order to implement them in the script. Gloria a Life: The producers of the play recreated archival interviews and TV appearances of Gloria Steinem and brought them to life on stage through the actor playing Steinem. One-Third of a Nation: This play incorporates accounts from the crisis surrounding The New York Housing Department using the technique of the Living Newspaper. Talkbacks In a talkback, members of the cast, crew, and/or the creative team of a production remain after a production to host conversation. Talkbacks are most often utilized in conjunction with any of the other techniques listed above. They exist so not only the audience can ask questions and engage with the art and artists, but also so that the audience can share their perspective on the work that was performed. Theatre for young audiences Efforts are also made to create impactful social and developmental theatre for younger audiences. Plays, musicals, and other performances can be created to specifically show to younger age demographics in order to teach them about topics they do not usually learn about or that may not be prevalent in their lives. The Yellow Boat, produced by Childsplay, comes with a learning guide for educators to open up conversations about HIV/AIDS and hemophilia. Talkbacks are also utilized in order to get younger audiences to engage and come up with their own questions about any performance or the themes and issues that were mentioned in the show. They allow the audience to analyze the topics themselves and explore the real world topics that are being taught. This invites the younger demographic to become part of the solution and development in their community.
