Professor Merle Collins is an activist in local and Caribbean communities, starting Carivision Community Theatre and helping to restore the damaged library on the island of Grenada.
In 2005, after teaching a play by the Caribbean writer Paloma Mohamed, Merle Collins started Carivision Community Theatre because the play seemed admirably suited to community discussion and general education. The play, Chupucabra, used Caribbean mythology to excite the interest of a community, particularly one familiar with the mythological characters, and to encourage a discussion of AIDS.
