San Geronimo Valley Community Center

On&nbsp;Saturday May 2, 2026&nbsp;at 7:00pm the&nbsp;San Geronimo Valley Community Center&nbsp;welcomes back&nbsp;Bay Area Playback Theater "Exploring Stories of Relationships".
Through the transformative lens of Playback Theater, Deep Improv Theater, actors and musicians will bring your true experiences to life using movement music, metaphor and spoken word.
Relationships are vital to our lives;&nbsp;every life is woven from them.&nbsp; They are fun, difficult, amazing, inspiring, satisfying, and/or challenging.&nbsp;We have people we love, avoid, and put up with. We have them&nbsp;with animals, objects, places, ideas, money, and society.&nbsp;What relationships shaped you, elated you, irritated you, pushed you, made you grow, laugh and/or cry?
No two shows are alike.&nbsp;Come as you are, tell your story&nbsp;or simply watch them come to life on stage.
