Playback Theatre is an original form of improvisational theatre in which audience or group members tell stories from their lives and watch them enacted on the spot.
Whether in theatres, workshops, educational or clinical settings, playback theatre draws people closer as they see their common humanity.
Playback Theatre was founded in 1975 in the Mid-Hudson Valley in New York by Jonathan Fox and the original Playback Theatre company, including Jo Salas and Judy Swallow.
Since then, Playback Theatre has reached hundreds of settings and locations. A support organization, the International Playback Theatre Network,
provides connection and information for Playback practitioners on five continents.

Why does Well Drama Club want to do Playback Theatre Performance?
Being one of the first to be trained by Veronica Needa when she brought Playback to us as a present in 1997,
we feel that it's the most appropriate present from us to audience on our 10th year anniversary.
We would like to present this to audiences who have loved the theatre for as long as we have.
Moreover, we would love to see more people enjoying theatre and feeling the magic of it.
We believe that it's not about the high technology or the high production cost that makes good theatre.
Everyone should be able to enjoy and to engage in theatre through their simple ways.
Through Playback, we promote the respect for everyone's right to speak up and being listened to.
