What others have experienced with Playback
“It was a wonderful evening, alive with spirit, fun, and celebration. . . It was heartwarming to see how you incorporated the audience into your performance. . . Truly everyone felt included and were totally engaged in your performance. We were all amazed how you could re-tell a story through gestures, a few words, and fewer props—and still have that story be understood and viewed in a different way.” Dorothy B. Klein, Community Leader, L’Arche Harbor House
“I am at a loss for words in describing the intense interaction. . . The women in the group not only responded to the playback theatre, they also shared sensitive issues and began to heal some of their pain. Many of the women have been physically or sexually abused and are not always comfortable discussing their anguish. The warmth and kindness of the Playback Theatre members put the clients at ease and helped them to open up so as to begin the healing process. . . . The level of preparation for the group was evident as the process was effective and educational.” Audrey Dearborn, LMHC, Women’s Center of Jacksonville
“Many of those who attended are still talking about its impact. . . The visual illustrations of mixed emotions and trying to do the right thing were of tremendous help. The inmates could actually see the confusion they are feeling.” Nancy I. Laughter, Correctional Programs Manager, Office of the Sheriff
"You and your fellow players were superb! If we stopped the conference right there, everyone would have gone home satisfied. What an awesome experience." Bobbi de Cordova-Hanks, "Journey through Breast Cancer" conference, "Bosom Buddies"
