Cardboard Citizens

Cardboard Citizens creates work with and for people who experience homelessness, inequity, or poverty. They provide theatre/art/training that explores, interrogates, and challenges the injustices that are most alive in our world. The organization believes that theatre and art can transform, that it can challenge the individual to grow and ignite a fire in the belly of wider society to change.

Their work puts great emphasis on the idea that all voices in the community are important. Through the practices of practitioners like Augusto Boal and Bertolt Brecht, they provide workshops, and performance opportunities that infuses new voices into the community and incites change beyond politics.
