Where We Belong: Stories of Sanctuary + Solidarity
Our Premiere Season

Join us for our premiere season, where we spotlight stories of feeling protected, centered and cherished, exactly as we are.

What Folks Are Saying

  • "I had never heard of Playback Theater before and so wasn't really sure what I was getting into. In my life I associated acting with ungrounded white people who over did everything to show how much they were committed to the art. I didn't feel that way here at all. The space felt grounded and well held. Allison and Lynn are incredible facilitators. The dedication of their work to Art, Ritual and Social Justice are things I can get behind.”

  • "An expressive use of empathy as a tool for story-retelling and trauma first aid; I would recommend this workshop to everyone regardless of background."

  • "This is such a fun, intimate, collaborative, & inclusive workshop. It was my first time doing playback and I’m hooked!"

  • "These workshops are the gift that keeps on giving! Every time I come I learn new things and connect more deeply to this ritual, practice and the people there."

  • "Learning Playback has reawakened something in me that has brought so much joy to my life. It’s much greater than just the workshops themselves- it’s reminded me how to play, while being vulnerable. So so grateful!"

  • "Lynn and Allison are kind, supportive and masterful facilitators who hold you sweetly through the process of learning something new. Playback Theatre is infused with joy, humor, and deep heart care."

  • "Engaging in creative play with my peers, just for pleasure's sake, feels deeply nourishing. Especially after three years of limited human to human connection. Allison and Lynn and all the attendees created such a safe place to let loose and have fun!"

  • "The more I come to these workshops, the more I want to keep coming! The joy, vulnerability, curiosity, care and love that is co-created is something very special. I'm so grateful to be part of it."
