Playback Theatre transforms personal stories told by audience members into improvised theatre pieces, on the spot, using movement, ritual, music and spoken improvisation. Sometimes a story becomes a myth, sometimes a realistic enactment: some stories are tragic; others are funny or illuminating.
The Living Arts Playback Ensemble is approaching its 40th year of existence.
