Over the ages, the theatre has meant different things to different scholars and practitioners. To some,[ it is a mirror that presents the image of the society, while to some it is a hammer to shape society. To the theatre for development facilitator, the theatre is a bridge across the two divides of the mirror-hammer theory. This paper presents the efforts of a Lagos-based Non-Governmental Organisatoin- The Performance Studio Workshop- at "edutaining" peoples of diverse cultural, religious, and geographical climates on such burning health issues as HIV/AIDS, Female Genital Cutting (FGC), Prostitution, as well as Visco Virgina Fistula (VVF). It submits that poverty, ignorance, and unquestioning believe in harmful cultural practices are responsible for these illnesses in Nigeria, proffers solutions to the spread of these illnesses, and highlights the roles of the theatre and NGOs in solving these problems and others using the workshops organised in Kano, Idogbo ( a village some 14 kilometres from Benin) and Lagos as case studies.
