Holocaust Impact Theater

Holocaust Impact Theater (HIT) is a high school theater project that teaches students theater and writing skills through the process of writing, producing, performing, and directing their own script. Using The Holocaust as a platform, students create productions that bridge historical events with current social injustices to promote tolerance and diversity and to teach audiences about the dangers of hate in society.
