Open Door Playback is a member of the International Playback Theatre Network www.playbacknet.org

Giving voice to stories that are often silenced or unheard.

Based on the campus of North Texas State Hospital and born in August 2006, Open Door Playback performs shows and holds workshops with hospital patients as well as staff and community groups.

While NTSH is a maximum-security psychiatric facility in a small Texas town, Playback Theatre is a form of non-scripted theatre practiced all over the world.

The actors improvise scenes using words, music, movement, and cloth. These scenes are based on true stories told by audience members.

As audiences recognize themselves in the the universal themes of the stories of others, this art form not only honors the individual, but also fosters a sense of community.

If you have any questions about what we do, please feel free to call or email us. And please visit the centre for playback theatre to learn more about playback.
