Sun Oct 18 · 12pm
A free outdoor performance of stories about how people are facing the climate crisis, and what they love about the planet. In Playback Theatre, audience members volunteer personal experiences and the company's actors immediately enact them through dialogue, music and movement. The programme is aimed at activists and educators of all ages, and is supported in part by a grant from the Somerville Arts Council.
Sun Nov 15 · 3pm
True Story Theater's November performance gathers audience members' stories about families at the holidays: how relatives handle their differences when they come together, which relationships are the hardest and what people do about them, and which matter most and why. In Playback Theatre, a volunteer from the audience tells a personal experience and the actors enact it on the spot; coming only to watch and listen is equally welcome.
$15–$25
Sat Dec 5 · 4pm
True Story Theater's December performance takes consumption as its theme: what people love about living in a high-consumption society, and how they deal with what is hard about it. In Playback Theatre, audience members who wish to tell a personal story do so, and the company's actors immediately enact it through dialogue, music and movement. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
$15–$25
