Abstract This article positions community theatre as an agency for development and education based on the educational principles of Freire and Boals theatre for development. The article argues that appreciative inquiry can enrich the practice of community theatre by approaching HIV and AIDS education as an asset-based, participatory, inclusive, learner-centered approach. The article hypothesizes that the infusion of the four-D process of appreciative inquiry into community theatre processes aimed at HIV and AIDS education will enhance young peoples agency as active participants and agents of change in their communities beyond the didactic notions inherent in ABC education approaches to HIV prevention. The article argues that this approach can encourage meaningful participation and critical consciousness among young people in the HIV prevention response. © 2012 American Alliance for Theatre and Education.
