      Interactive performance and community engagement are at the heart of Playback Theatre, which originated in 1975 in the Mid Hudson Valley of New York. This unique art form, now practiced in 70 countries, involves teams of actors and musicians who listen to audience stories and spontaneously enact them without scripts or rehearsals. By fostering dialogue and connection, Playback Theatre creates a shared experience that emphasizes the power of storytelling in diverse contexts.
