An invitation to growth : towards a curriculum for a people's theater / Lutragrdo L. Labad and Cecilia B. Garrucho.

The process of creating an effective community theater curriculum will continue to develop and improve, as it answers the changes that take place every second, every day. But its main concern will always be the same: People - Their struggle for meaning and life as they slowly unyoke themselves from years of repression and stagnation. Once they discover the real truths of their own capacities and strengths - through the theater for one - there will grow a spirit that shall eddy out from the depths and recesses of their being and culture, outward reaching to catapult into the limelight of reality, a consciousness that will serve as fire in a people's process of actualizing creatively their dream of security, justice, liberation and peace. The theater, at that point, becomes a communal celebration of such a struggle and process. --From the last page
