This site is a resource for those who use theater techniques for other or more than arts or entertainment purposes, and for those whose theater styles incorporate other than traditional presentation styles.

The guide is designed to help those who are exploring some of the niches being filled by theater practitioners who seek to use their skills in ways not represented on a traditional stage. Because this area is not a defined profession, and because its practitioners are in varied fields, please consider this a site permanently under construction.

Theater professionals throughout the world are working to bring their skills as change agents, as awareness builders, and as empathy masters to the personal and social needs of a world hungry for connection. This Web Site is intended to eliminate the need for a time-, space-, and resource-consuming association. The differing forms of Applied Theater are varied enough that terminology remains a difficulty. Theater -(or Theatre-) in-Education, Drama-in-Education, Non-Scripted Theater, Sociodrama, Forum Theater, Practical Theater are all descriptors which can be found in the various scholarly indices. This forum may provide the means to arrive at more widely accepted terminology for the various branches of this growing field.

A Majordomo list (similar to Listserve) is available for discussion about issues related to this field. Membership is open to anybody with Internet access.
