This article details the innovative pedagogy of a general education class entitled Theatre as Social Change at Georgia College & State University. The class is based on the work of the late Brazilian theatre theorist Augusto Boal and includes work with at-risk high school students that explores race, gender, class and the power of the vote. The article discusses the assessment results for the five years the class has been taught, including the use of AAC&U VALUE rubrics and reflection assessments.
