The impact of live theater is undeniable and unique. goes beyond mere storytelling and written description to create “in-the-room, in-the-moment” scenes with multi-dimensional characters.

What's our approach?

When works with your organization, we bring in a highly skilled team of professional actors and consultants to create scenes based on your critical issues. These scenes, and the facilitated discussions that follow, provide an engaging, non-threatening opportunity for your organization and its members to explore the issues and strategize ways of addressing them.

Representative scenarios:

Andrea, a middle manager at Technoble Industries, discovers that she has just been passed over for a major promotion despite having been greatly praised for the high productivity and strong morale of her workgroup. When Andrea stops in to discuss this with Michael, her supervisor, she is stunned to find that he himself blocked her promotion. “Your managerial style and tactics are too soft for you to be an effective upper manager,” Michael tells Andrea.

The management at Servicon has announced a new set of procedures designed to “streamline” their customer service process. They’ve sent out a memo to all their frontline employees outlining these procedures; in response, the employees are reacting with anger, frustration, and resistance. “If those guys just came and worked our jobs for half a day, they’d realize how hard our work is, and how impossible it would be to do what they’re telling us,” the employees complain.

A long-standing, smooth functioning workgroup places a strong emphasis on enjoying the job. Members tease each other, play lots of practical jokes, and have become good friends in and out of the workplace. Now their supervisor has hired a new team member who is quiet, private, and prioritizes work over relationships. When the supervisor sees the resulting dynamic, she calls the group together. “Something (or someone) has got to change,” she says. But what? Or who?

• Work/life balance challenges: how can an organization be fair to all its members?
• Women as leaders: do they need a different style of managing than men do?
• The "race" race: does giving people of color special attention put the rest of the workforce at a disadvantage?
