​OUR MISSION
Theatre For Change is a South Texas 501c3 organization made up of dramatic media artists who are committed to linking the stories inherent within theatre, film, and new media to the needs and messages of nonprofit organizations.

TFC aims to weld the weakest links in our community by producing, reviewing, and creating works of theatre, film, and new media that encourage awareness, compassion, and a call to action. 

OUR HISTORY
Theatre For Change was founded on January 1, 2013 as a coalition of professional film, theater, and new media artists who were passionate about turning humanitarian statistics into narratives. In three years, TFC has secured four grants, produced four events - tackling adoption, childhood cancer, the foster system, and immigration – produced a short film, and have employed over 150 artists from the Austin, San Antonio, and LA markets

Seek Truth. Create Story. Change The World.

After the railroad forces her alcoholic husband to move North, Ruth DeLay¬–a pregnant, destitute mother of four–desperately seeks an unregulated abortion in order for her family to survive the Great Depression. Ruth is based on a true story.
