Abstract

Playback Theatre has seen amazing growth and development internationally since its first performance in New York State in 1975. There are now somewhere in the order of 75 companies performing in 30 countries around the world. This speaks volumes about the ability of Playback Theatre (PBT) to "touch" people and the commitment of those who practice it.
