What We Do First, a skilled facilitator awakens a range of perspectives and ideas from the audience, through a direct dialogue with audience members.

Then our team of professional actors and musicians bring the audience's stories to life and into focus in a way that is entertaining, surprising, illuminating and transformative.

Early in the performance themes are opened up as the audience shares short anecdotes from their personal experience. As the performance progresses, more detailed stories are called for. The audience relaxes and becomes open to participation as the skill, energy and insight of the performers transform their words into performance.

Our performers are trained to be intuitive and to understand the meaning of stories on many levels, thus allowing them to create a cohesive piece of theatre that is equally satisfying for the 'story-teller' and the entire audience.

Any subject matter, even the most complex, is approached with sensitivity and courage to provide the opportunity for people to voice, reflect and affirm personal experience. The illumination of the unique life of our audience is one of the powers of Playback Theatre.
