The Theatre for Change Outreach Program as part of the North Carolina Theatre was launched in Fall 2007 at the Boys and Girls Club of Wake Forest North Carolina.

Mission: To use theatre games, exercises, role-playing tactics and processing to heighten awareness and encourage individual change in conflict situations and their resolutions for the youth population of the Raleigh area ages 4th-9th grade.

Heather Patterson-King, former Director of the ACT Out Ensemble social-issue theatre, and current Education Director and Acting Instructor of the North Carolina Theatre leads the program. The program uses older actors from the North Carolina Theatre Conservatory to provide peer- on-peer education about conflict resolution.
