Playback

Playback is an original form of theatrical improvisation where one audience member tells a story from their life and then sees that story enacted - on the spot - by the Puente actors.  At the end of each Playback performance there is an opportunity for members of the audience to discuss the performance. We have found that people are very open to sharing an event in their lives and that these shared stories of their experience resonate with the whole audience. Stories of being an immigrant, a worker, a parent, victim or … even a bully, have great meaning to people of all ages.
