Deep Improv: Audience stories come to life

Bay Area Playback Theater at Open Secret Bookstore Stage

Experience a unique form of improvisational theater, where stories or dreams are brought to life on the spot.

Members of the audience are invited to tell stories from their lives, then watch as we instantly enact them using movement, music and dramatic spoken word.

The stories may be funny or sad, memories from long ago or yesterday. Audience and performers co-create a theater event whose subject is the life experiences of the people attending the show.

“It touched all of us deeply…everyone who attended remarked afterward what an amazing experience they had… both enlightening and entertaining”

“My face hurt from smiling.”

“Risk taking, energetic, whimsical.”

“What an extraordinary and entertaining evening.”
