An Evening of Playback Theatre

Playback Theatre is an original form of improvisational theatre in which audience members tell stories from their lives, and watch them enacted on the spot by a company of trained actors and musicians.
At a Playback performance, a Teller is invited from the audience to tell a story; the Teller then chooses actors to play roles in the story, which is then played back improvisationally, incorporating music, movement, and spoken improvisation. Sometimes a story becomes myth, sometimes a realistic enactment; some stories are tragic, others are funny or illuminating.
Playback Theatre affirms the importance and dignity of personal experience, enables people to view their lives in new ways, and draws people closer as they see their common humanity.
