Dec 15 | Free Playback Theatre Performance Directed by John A. Johnson
Ward 8 resident, John A. Johnson and an amazing group of actors use Playback Theatre techniques to bring Washington, DC stories to life. Selected from both the DC Oral History Collaborative collection at the DC Public Library’s People’s Archive and Johnson’s Anacostia Unmapped project the stories each discuss pivotal moments in the lives of their narrators; moments that shaped their lives and that, perhaps, shaped the lives of many others.
The company will listen to these stories and tell them back to the audience through a unique, improvisational performance art piece.
