what is guerilla theatre?

an act of political protest, guerilla theatre mocks the powers that be. street theatre has proven to be an effective method of protest by directly confronting wrongful conditions and raising awareness of such conditions.

the creative film society sponsors a unique kind of guerilla theatre. instead of live actors, the moving image tells the tale. armed only with a projector, cfs scouts the town for an ideal location. in our case, an ideal location is any large, flat, vertical surface with low lighting: the side of a building, under a bridge. the location is announced, word spreads, the projector is cued, and thanks to wrfl 88.1 fm, the audio signal is beamed over the airwaves.

think of it as a makeshift drive-in theatre, transforming a different space each time.
