WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT BAY AREA PLAYBACK THEATRE:

"You were fabulous. Wow, wow, wow. Everyone loved you and it was so powerful for us. The performance gave us a deeper understanding of our own stories and their emotional affect on us. Everybody was emotional impacted. Some brought to tears. Thanks to each of you for sharing your hearts and talents." J.Redwing Keysar R.N., Director Palliative Care Program, Jewish Family and Children's Services

“My face hurt from smiling. I was feeling the joy for the human connection in the room.” Joan Nelson, Chairperson Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Marin Social Concerns

“I’m a big fan of improvisational theater but didn’t know what to expect from Playback.  I was a “teller” at two performances.  At the first performance I laughed and at the second I cried.  Both experiences knocked my socks off.”  Allan Blau, Attorney at Law


“I felt the earth move even though it didn’t register on the Richter scale.  I laughed.  I cried.  It was everything you want in a night of improv.  These actors are magical.”  Nika St. Claire, Program Director, Alameda Family Services

“I was surprised and delighted.  What an extraordinary and entertaining evening! The rare talent of the actors resulted in a delightful and soulful bonding.”  Deborah von Bolschwing, Psychologist


“How in the world one performance can be exhilarating, entertaining and also be a transformational experience was proved possible at the Bay Area 10906293_10155079746545118_698055138558173375_nPlayback Performance.  I can’t wait for more.” 
Esther Blau, R.N.


“The actors pull various emotions out of the viewer like a clown retrieving a trail of scarves from his mouth.  Risk taking, Energetic, Whimsical.” 
Nicole Katler, Psychotherapist and Musician
