Welcome to Playback PDX!
Playback Theater involves YOU! We invite audience members to come and share their stories or to witness their fellow community members stories and experience the magic of Playback Theater as our talented, passionate troupe of performers improvise a piece honoring the words and emotions that were shared with us. It can be moving, hilarious, sweet, engaging and so many other adjectives. We hope you join us!

Playback Show
Playback is a form of theater, where personal stories shared by audience members are performed within a creative group process. Interventions are made as needed within this creative context. Being witnessed is healing, and witnessing others’ process is healing, and the intention is to build community healing.

TRANSFORMATIVE…I highly recommend Playback Theater for their outstanding work and excellent sense of humor and drama. They are a fine group to bring art and understanding to critical issues that occur for schools and community groups. Their performances contributed a great deal to unifying students and faculty in creating a more positive campus.
It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen – part campfire stories, part drama, dance, metaphor, comedy, and improv, all mixed in with an exuberant sort of ecstatic informal community therapy!
