It was found that teachers theater playing allows them to wide their learning/teaching concepts and practical work. Teachers non stopping education process concerns not only to conceptual knowledge but also requires procedural and performing knowledge acquisition and it may enable teachers see their own lives through new different point of views. Coming along with those teachers made clear that the daily school practice has to be given more value. The Projeto Teatro na Escola process allows teachers who take part of it to, showed meaningful changes both personally and professionally and it indicates theater practice may allow the birth of the new "social subject". A more participative and therefore more reflexive subject; a more aware of his body and therefore less automated one; more aware of the importance of pedagogical intervention and therefore more competent one; a more educational tool skilled and therefore more cunning one; a more sensitive to "the other" and therefore more human one
