Street theatre is a vital art form endemic to the cultural fabric and traditional rituals of peoples worldwide.
Street theatre is immediate, intimate and interactive.
It is a colorful celebration which challenges the harshness of our urban landscape. Street theatre is a reclamation of our public spaces and our community. It is eagerly awaited by the residents, children and organizers of San Francisco's Tenderloin district as well as a growing alternative theatre going audience. In its first year, ITS offered two free days of street theatre on Ellis street as well as a temporal sculpture garden and Hands-On table. All together ITS events have included over 600 artists and have brought 13,000 people out to the Tenderloin.
