Abstract

The use of theatre to promote social change is increasingly becoming a normal practice in most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The preference for this mode of communication is based on its economic implications for accessibility, execution, and sustainable benefits. The study explored the potential of using theatre, and in particular Theatre for Development (TfD), to conduct tax education. Using ethnography of performance and critical performative pedagogy, the study explored Chikolosa village in Mwanza district and discovered that using Theatre for Development (TfD) to teach people about taxes helped them understand tax information as individuals and as a community at large. TfD also equipped them with the knowledge that they are able to share with others, enlightening them on their role in the process of tax revenue mobilization.
