Pinoy Playback Theater

About the Show

Pinoy Playback Theater is an improvisational form created in 1975 by Jonathan Fox in New York. Audience members provide stories and content for the performance, which the conductor helps relay to the actors and musician. The story is then acted out improvisationaly in a way that reflects the essence of the telling. Performances focus on various themes reflecting the experiences of the audience. Unlike some forms of improv theater, the goal of Playback Theater is first to reflect and honor the experience of the Teller, rather than make the audience laugh.
