"Cardboard Citizens is a theatre company that works with homeless and marginalized people using Augusto Boal's forum theatre. Every year they tour London's hostels, day centres empowering homeless people to rehearse changes in their lives".

personally what I love about this theater company is the fact that they target the homeless in london. And they give them job opportunity.
