Reproduction, Contestation, and Political Theater: Reflections on Three Productions

This composition considers the potential of political theater to provide a medium for educational practitioners to challenge dominant ideological codes in school and society. Through an investigation of the role of three productions the author demonstrates the capacity of theater to disrupt traditional teacher and student roles through the construction of a common artistic product which is preeminently social in its origin, development, and realization. Political theater suggests a forum through which counter-hegemonic struggles can transcend verbal discussions to raise fundamental questions of social justice in a manner which is lively, accessible, and provocative to student populations.
