With Playback theatre, there is no script!
Playback theatre thrives on spontaneous stories. At a Memphis Matters show, an audience member – a teller – will share a reflection, moment, or story – perhaps lighthearted or funny, perhaps moving or difficult. Then, our Ensemble plays that story back, reenacting the teller’s story with care, creativity, and compassion.
This sharing and witnessing of stories affirms that each teller’s story deserves to be told, is valued, is accepted.
Participate how you feel most comfortable. Feel free to share a story, or simply sit back and watch the magic unfold.
We welcome and value you as a teller or witness.
