About the Project
Playback Theatre is improvisational theatre where audience members (voluntarily) share true feelings and stories and then our actors and musicians re-enact these feelings and stories on the spot. Playback Theatre was originally created by Jo Salas and Jonathan Fox in the 1970s and now it’s practiced in over 70 countries for community building, post-trauma repair, conflict resolution, and just for fun!
LAPlayback creates spaces where those who have historically been erased and undervalued to share their stories and be centered. We invite participants to flex their empathy muscles, listen to each other with compassion, and connect on a human level. This inevitably leads to outcomes centered in true belonging, where everyone can feel seen and heard.
