River Crossing Playback Theatre is an ensemble in the lower Susquehanna Valley building community through the dramatic portrayal of real-life stories since 2008. Playback Theatre is a practice and performance structure developed in New York in the 1970s, now practiced by more than 50 groups in the United States and hundreds more worldwide. In Playback Theatre, audiences tell, watch and learn from their own stories, honoring each story in a ritual practice and participating in a new common story that honors both their differences and common ground. The River Crossing ensemble draws from members in Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster, York and Baltimore counties. See more at www.rivercrossingplayback.org.
