Abstract: Focusing on the experience of one of seven working groups at a theater-for-development workshop in Zimbabwe, this report details the process followed by many groups, and reveals some of the major learnings, dilemmas, contradictions, strengths, and limiting factors found in a practical village-based theater-for-development process. A brief discussion of theater-for-development (TFD) presents this drama form as an experimental collaborative process designed to take theater out of urban enclaves and make it accessible to the masses, presenting such common concerns as crop production, water shortages, immunization, literacy, and family planning. A day-by-day diary account of this working group illustrates an overview of, and specific tasks involved with, the production of a "theater pungwe"--people's theater. A TFD model lists educational objectives for the drama process and defines the workshop objectives, which are: (1) to train development cadres and theater artists in theater-for-development, and (2) to start a TFD program in Murewa area of Zimbabwe as a training and popular education/culture program. The report's concluding sections provide an analysis of the workshop, including constraints, relationship with villagers, organizational strategy, and team work. An extensive bibliography is included. (JB)
