About The Chicago Playback Theatre Ensemble
Everyone has a story to tell. What if you could tell your story and watch it come to life before your eyes? At Tell Us Your Story: The Chicago Playback Theatre Ensemble Show, actors guide audience members in sharing their own stories which are then brought to life onstage by the actors using imrpov, movement, and music.
CPTE is a new company that believes that sharing audience stories builds community, strengthens empathy, and ignites dialogue, and CPTE is the only ensemble in Chicago currently using Playback Theatre to perform audience stories.
Unlike other Improv you might see in Chicago, Playback is not focused on comedy. YOUR experience of any kind, from the profound to the ordinary, from the joyful to the sorrowful, is worthy of attention, respect, and a voice with CPTE!
CPTE has weekly shows every Friday at 7:30pm at the Salon Theater at Collaboraction Studios in The Flat Iron Arts Building. Get your tickets on their event site and learn more about the other shows and workshops the ensemble is doing in your community on their website.
