Participants will
learn the theory and practice of RoundTable Theatre (RTT) in
promoting hope and respect for oneself and others by finding
alternatives to outworn and damaging ways of thinking, feeling, and
behaving. With fun and seriousness, we will respect ourselves,
that is, look again at what we are and also may become.
