This document describes a collaborative learning project that investigated how theater and improvisational drama can help adult learners to develop basic literacy and English language abilities. Three teachers, working with an average of 10 students each for 6 months, conducted classes to increase students' skills in improvisation, creative thinking, imagination, scriptwriting, and individual and group performance. They improvised skits and plays, worked on writing as scripts what they had created, then read and rehearsed their work and performed it in public. Teachers' activities included a 20-hour orientation , a biweekly teacher-sharing, and the keeping of a detailed record of their work .
