Stories are the lifeblood of any culture. Personal stories, no matter how big or how small, reveal and connect us to ourselves, to each other and to the grander narratives of humanity. When we tell a personal story it resonates with others and with the past and the future. Our stories live in our cells.

Playback Theatre engages this rich vein of story in any group of people that gather to connect and communicate.

In essence Playback illuminates fundamental human experiences and emotions by listening and enacting the audience’s own stories.
