Playback Theatre (PBT) is a form of improvisational theatre practiced in over 40 different countries in the world. PBT was created by Jonathan Fox who had the idea of a spontaneous theatre that reflected back to a gathered audience their view of the world, thus enabling an enriching experience for the actor s and audience, on and off the stage.

PBT is grounded in everyday life and stories, where the spontaneous enactment of personal experience builds connection between people by honoring the dignity, drama and universality of their stories. It is a spontaneous and exhilarating and often moving process that draws on real-life experiences of audience members ad then immediately re-enacts these stories using all the technique of theatre arts.

PBT has been used in many different settings including public theatres, schools, community events, therapy settings and even corporate contexts.

We all have a wonderful time learning this new form of acting - Playback!
