True Story Theater, Neighbor

True Story Theater performs and offers trainings in New England and California.

Clients include hospitals, universities, corporations, religious communities,

teen leaders, hospices, federal employees, philanthropists, as well as people

for special private events.

Our ensemble of gifted performers was founded in the summer of 2001

by Christopher Ellinger. True Story draws people with varied backgrounds

that include actors, counselors and educators, executive directors, activists,

health care professionals, singers, artists and business consultants.

Our work beautifully interweaves our many creative talents. We make use of a wide range of improvisational theater, music, and dance forms with a core of Playback Theatre.

The mission of True Story Theater is to promote social healing by listening deeply to people’s stories and transforming them spontaneously into theater.

Our events create a respectful atmosphere where every voice can be heard and any story told — however ordinary or extraordinary, difficult or joyful. True Story Theater offers audiences fresh perspectives, deeper connections, and a renewed appreciation for our common humanity.
