Jenny's thesis Community-Engaged Theatre Audiences aims to understand how individuals make meaning or sense out of community-engaged theatre performances which are often plays are social justice initiatives, working within different communities to foster social change.
Jenny’s research asks “what can scholars and artists learn about community-engaged theatre by asking audience members about their experiences?” Audiences are so often erased or simply absent from archives and theatre scholarship. Jenny’s thesis research centers their voices in order to better understand community-engaged theatre as an advocacy project.
Many well wishes, Dr. Jenny Salisbury!
