                                               'I'  2016

Children’s Peace Theatre’s work to create a culture of peace has never been more relevant.  At this year's  annual Peace Camp,  the cast of 60 children and youth and 10 professional artists, alarmed by the increasing violence globally and the harsh reality of systemic racism that continues to result in the loss of Black lives, created the production, 'I'. Beyond the usual array of inevitable conflicts that arise while collaborating with 60 children and youth to create an original production about current social issues, this year we were acutely aware of the impact of these events on the well being of our young participants and our community.

With the guidance of Director Tanisha Taitt, Music Director Brownman Ali and Visual Arts Director Lido Pimiento, amongst other amazing artists, the production, 
‘I’, explored the concept of Individuality, weaving the stories of our individual and collective struggles for self actualization, freedom and peace.

​“In light of all that continues to go on in the world in the last few days... I just wanted to say that it makes places like CPT even more important. I wanted to thank all of you, especially today, for being present with those kids to face the hard and also the joyful truths of our humanity! Thank you all for your commitment and courage! ”
