Since the death of Marcelo Lucero Playback Theater director Paul McIsaac has been talking with community leaders in the Patchogue area about how theater and story telling can play a role in helping to “Bridge the Gap” that might exist between different members of the community. This day long project—PATCHOGUE STORIES— has the support of the office of the Mayor, the Patchogue-Medford Library and a growing number of religious, educational and community groups.
WORKSHOP: (2-5PM) An introduction to playback theater to give local actors, dancers, musicians and others a first hand idea of what it would mean to build a Patchogue Playback company. Teens, adults, and all ethnic groups and levels of experience are welcome.
PERFORMANCE: (7:30-9PM) Playback Theater NYC will not bring a prepared script, rather they’ll invite people in the audience to tell stories and then they will act them out on the spot and playing them back using improvisation, free form hip hop, music and movement. (En inglés y español)
