Describe the challenge you want to address:

The problem of connections between generations, lack of education, boring life, lack of friends, misunderstanding and non-acceptance of the differences and differences of people. Young people have little contact with older people and veterans. The white population does not like the colored population and vice versa. Many older people are lonely and need support and companionship. Understanding is achieved only through joint action and bringing people closer together.

What is the solution to the challenge?

The idea is to create a theater. Where the actors will be residents of the area interested in theatrical art. With the help of this theater, you can connect generations, you can achieve understanding of the problems of immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, and the loneliness of older people. Creativity is the only accessible, gentle mechanism for treating mental problems, for creating understanding and acceptance of people as they are. It is also a way to acquire new skills and unleash creativity.
