This would be a great thing to plan a trip around. The International Playback Theatre Network has hundreds of theatre groups around the globe. Have you heard of Playback Theatre? We have a group right here in Asheville.
Internationally, playback theatre is committed to social justice . The Asheville group is in its 13th year of using the unique playback format to present challenging issues. “Building a Community of Neighbors” is the general theme.
Each performance will have a different topic to focus on some aspect of Asheville life that makes it a special place. The special format incorporates stories from people in the audience. The stories are transformed into a performance and even improvised music. The storyteller’s story is often the story of other audience members, too. It’s a way to share our differences and similarities, to grow closer in community.
The shows usually sell out. You need to paln ahead and get there early! Tickets are available at the door for $10; seniors and student are $5 and no one is turned away for lack of funds.
Check out more info and dates on the Asheville Playback Theatre website. Let us know if you want to reserve the suite at Lovers’ Loop Retreat! You can call us at 828-296-0660 or email sunrisescribes@bellsouth.net.
