What is Playback Theater?
Playback Theater is non-scripted performance created from true stories shared by audience members. Each story is played back creatively and dynamically by skilled actors, improvisers and musicians through movement, music, metaphor, and creative narrative. This unique form of theater can be an effective catalyst for social and personal change.
This art form is a must-see for anyone who seeks to explore the depths of the human experience. It offers an opportunity to be acknowledged, to share your voice, and to connect with others in community. Playback can be truly healing.

“TRANSFORMATIVE…I highly recommend Playback Theater for their outstanding work and excellent sense of humor and drama. They are a fine group to bring art and understanding to critical issues that occur for schools and community groups. Their performances contributed a great deal to unifying students and faculty in creating a more positive campus.” - Margaret O’Brien, principal of Kau School.

"It's like nothing I've ever seen - part campfire stories, part drama, dance, metaphor, comedy, and improv, all mixed in with an exuberant sort of ecstatic informal community therapy!"
