Diversity Theater is an interactive training modality that combines role play/acting and audience participation to create real-time learning. Adults learn when they can actively participate in the learning and when they can relate the training to personal experiences.

This is how "Diversity Theater works: a scenario that resembles a real life work situation is acted out. The scenarios deal with the spectrum of workplace/marketplace diversity issues: gender, disability, race, age (generational), sexual orientation, parenting, ethnicity, religion, personality types, and the list goes on. Each scenario poses a thought provoking complex issue making the audience witnesses to a workplace situation. The scenarios are designed to replicate what really happens everyday at work. After each scenario is acted out, the audience gets involved by asking the "actors" questions, confronting sometimes sensitive issues in a safe learning environment. The audience discusses possible causes and consequences of what they have seen and then they get involved in resolving the issue. "Diversity Theater" creates a dialogue in the workplace about how to maximize human resources.

Diversity Theater is presented auditorium or theater style to audiences of 100 - 500. Props are used to simulate where the situation is taking place. With the help of the client, the scenarios are customized to fit their environment.

The critics give "Diversity Theater" two thumbs up. Their comments include:

• "A great way to teach a sensitive topic."

• "Thought provoking"
• "I can't believe I was totally engaged."
