Our mission statement is to “create space for human dignity using the arts for social justice,”. IBT hopes to create a production which expresses how participants and communities have been impacted or affected by systematic silencing of experiences and exploitation across marginalized populations. The performance aims to challenge stigma, inspire action, provide a platform, and enhance community for all involved in creating, producing, or witnessing the production. The creation of the production is being overseen by the Board of Trustees for IBT, by our Artistic Director Rosie Best, Co-Director Meg Kraner, and IBT volunteers.

Your Involvement:
Your experience matters. By partnering with the creative tools and artistic experience available through Issue Box Theatre, we want to ensure a collaborative process that enhances your artistic expression. It is our goal that, through amplifying the voices of participants, we may achieve greater consciousness in society about the experience of marginalization that your story tells.
Due to the nature of non-profit work, it is unlikely that you will receive any direct monetary benefit from taking part in this production; however, in alignment with our goal to amplify your voice, you will maintain all intellectual property rights and will own, and be given, the final product of your individual work to use any way you like without having to cover any of the costs of production. This product may also enhance knowledge and inspire change which may help others in the future.
