She said that people facing difficulties in their lives have learned important lessons through theatrical scenes that her group presents about real-life issues. Unlike conventional theater performances, InterAction Theater's performances are in places that make its shows much more real to the audiences, even though to some traditional theater-goers this may not seem like real theater. The topics covered are selected according to the educational needs of each particular audience, including people who are in at-risk situations. Unlike conventional theatrical companies, the group invites contributions from the audience, which is called upon to become verbally involved with the scenario being presented. In each story line, the action comes to a crisis point and the play is stopped, so the audience can discuss what happened and its ramifications.
Programs typically last about an hour.
In five minutes, the conflict can be apparent and come to a crisis. Audience members get to ask characters questions about what they would do or how they feel in this situation. The audience can ask about anything and it will be answered. Kondrat said many participants in at-risk situations learn more from this type of situation because the scenes are typically about things they have experienced. Teaching children the benefits of interactive theater is another goal of the group.
