THE PLAYGO ENSEMBLE
Playback Theatre & Improvisation: Shows and Workshops
?What is Playback Theatre
Playback Theatre is a unique form of improvisational theatre that brings our life stories to the stage. In a Playback performance, audience members share personal experiences and watch them come to life in real-time
As the actors listen to each story, with the musician they transform it into a theatrical spectacle—reflecting the essence of the teller's experience. Every story is welcome; every story is a gift that can be transformed into creative, magical, and empowering moments on stage
The Playgo Ensemble
The Playgo Ensemble consists of professional performers who specialize in the Playback Theatre method and the art of improvisation. We offer a variety of performances for both the public and private sectors, with shows available in English and Hebrew
Our ensemble is a diverse group of stage professionals, including actors, drama therapists, musicians, animators, and educators. The Playgo Ensemble performs throughout Israel and internationally, catering to a wide range of audiences
Founded in New York in 1975, Playback Theatre bridges the gap between the performers and the audience. At the heart of this practice is the invitation for audience members to share their world. Our actors listen deeply, turning these narratives into brief, magical, and empowering reflections
By incorporating elements of psychodrama, storytelling, and professional improvisation, we create a powerful theatrical genre. Stories are presented through short forms—scenes filled with vivid imagery, metaphor, humor, and music
In this interactive ritual, both the storytellers and the audience share a unique opportunity to be part of an uplifting performance. It is an experience that leaves participants moved and connected through our shared human spirit
