REHEARSAL FOR LIFE:Rehearsal for Life (also known as Urban Improv) was created in 1992 as a response to Boston's escalating youth violence. Directed to children at risk, the program was initially modeled on the Living Stage, a successful community outreach program in Washington D.C. The Freelance Players, Inc., in collaboration with the Boston Public Schools, launched Rehearsal for Life/Urban Improv after a year of research, evaluation, and fund raising. A professional acting ensemble with experience in education, psychology, and theater for young people now runs the program.Rehearsal for Life is an interactive program for young people that uses improvisational theater workshops to teach violence prevention, conflict resolution, and decision-making. Today: this means cyber bullying. The program's innovative curriculum helps students deal creatively with major issues in their lives. It is truly a rehearsal for life.
