This report presents the findings of an evaluation of the Everyday Theatre programme held in Whangarei during November 2006. Everyday Theatre is a workshop for students in middle schools inviting audience participation to address the issues of a dysfunctional family. Everyday Theatre is part of Everyday Communities, a community-based initiative promoted by Child Youth and Family (Ministry of Social Development) in New Zealand. Addressing its objectives, the evaluation found Everyday Theatre had succeeded in providing a safe forum for young people to explore issues of family violence; positive effects of providing this forum included a notable change in students' in-school behaviour towards others, and a greater awareness of services young people could access in the community. In relation to how well Everyday Theatre had contributed to Everyday Communities in Whangarei, the evaluation found the programme could be strengthened by stronger brokering and follow up of the programme in schools and clearer linkages to Everyday Communities. The report included a number of recommendations.
