Forum Theatre

Bringing Behavioural Change to Life Through Interactive Performance

At Professional Role Players (PRP), we use Forum Theatre as a powerful, interactive learning tool to help participants explore workplace challenges and discover new ways to effect change.

In Forum Theatre, a live scenario unfolds in front of an audience but with a twist. At any point, the audience or facilitator can ‘freeze’ the action, challenge what they see, and suggest alternative behaviours or approaches. The actors then replay the scene using the suggested changes, showing in real time how different actions can lead to better outcomes.

Why Forum Theatre Works

Forum Theatre is exciting, participatory, and thought-provoking. It offers a safe space to tackle sensitive issues, challenge assumptions, and rehearse alternative behaviours in real-world contexts, all without judgment or risk.

Whether the focus is communication, leadership, unconscious bias, or team dynamics, this approach creates powerful moments of reflection, discussion, and behaviour change.

Advantages of Using Forum Theatre

  • Encourages open discussion on difficult or sensitive topics

  • Creates engaging platforms for team dialogue and reflection

  • Empowers participants to test new approaches and see immediate impact

  • Uses “Time Outs” to review attitudes and behaviours mid-performance

  • Provides an entertaining and immersive learning experience

  • Delivers memorable and lasting learning outcomes

Tailored to Your Organisation

We work closely with you to identify specific workplace challenges, which are then incorporated into bespoke scenarios. PRP offers flexibility in delivery, our professional actors can either rehearse pre-written scripts or improvise scenarios live with the audience.

And because our actors aren’t your colleagues, participants feel free to challenge, critique, and interact without the awkwardness that sometimes comes with in-house roleplay.

All PRP actors are highly skilled performers trained in delivering professional feedback, ensuring each session is as impactful as it is engaging.

Forum Theatre is not just training - it’s transformation.


Let PRP help your team explore, challenge, and evolve through this powerful technique.
