Stephen DiMenna

Founder and Artistic Director

 

Founded in 2005, ITLP uses theatre as a means of

social uplift for children and young people living with the

challenges of poverty, crime, violence, gender inequity and

inequality in developing countries.

 

ITLP brings theatre artists to developing countries to conduct theatre workshops to teach English language proficiency, develop independent thinking, self-empowerment and gender equity. We strive to help underserved young people advance their educational and employment opportunities and nurtutre their voices as leaders to enable growth, change and community development.
