Even Puppets Have Problems: interactive drama for managing conflict

Empower your students with essential life skills in a fun and engaging way. Step into the world of our puppeteer's interactive show, where puppet friends grapple with their emotions and conflicts. Students help by offering solutions to help our puppets manage their anger and resolve their differences.

In our residency version, students delve deeper into the art of conflict resolution through immersive role-play. They'll tackle real-life peer conflicts head-on, learning valuable strategies to express anger safely, find inner calm, and master the art of problem-solving.

Our Approach

This interactive programming is based on the Forum Theatre model of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed, which begins with a short scripted play that freezes at a moment of crisis. Then the facilitator guides the audience members, called spect-actors, in a discussion about the play and different choices the character(s) could have made to arrive at a better outcome. Next, they rewind the piece, pausing at various moments so that the audience/spect-actors can intervene and offer their ideas of what the character(s) could say or do at those moments. Then they see how that plays out as the performers improvise scenes using their suggestions. Also, students are often invited to replace the main character to try out their ideas in real time, thus rehearsing for life!

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24. Nationwide, 1 out of 6 students in grades 9-12 have seriously considered suicide in the past year. LFL brings these vitally important topics to the forefront through discussion, performance and interaction, offering choices to change the reaction to negative experiences into positive outcomes.
