Abstract: | Children's theatre and theatre for young people in Zimbabwe is aimed at the 'total man', touching the spirit, the soul and the body. The activities of Zimbabwean theatre for young people are explored in case studies of Chipawo, Children's Performing Arts Workshop, an educational, nonprofit theatre established in 1989 in Harare; the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe, a parastatal organization established in 1985 to spearhead, coordinate and facilitate the development and promotion of arts and cultural activities; the National Theatre Organization; Amakhosi, a Ndebele-based community theatre company in Bulawayo; PLAN, an international agency which uses various performance art techniques to educate children on issues such as HIV/AIDS, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, and child labour, and empower them to protect themselves; and projects initiated by MARCH, Modelling And Reinforcement to Combat HIV, which focus on the promotion of health and social issues, amongst others through social change oriented drama.
