Mission Statement
The Chicago Playback Theatre Ensemble (CPTE) is an ensemble of performing artists dedicated to building community using Playback Theatre, an interactive form of improvisational theatre, to bring the personal stories of our audience members to life on stage. Our mission is to use our unique approach to storytelling to spark dialogue, broaden perspectives, and promote healing by celebrating and validating the truths of the stories we receive.
Description
The Chicago Playback Theatre Ensemble (CPTE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has been collaborating with community partners in the greater Chicago area since 2019 to create performances and educational workshops that are designed to engage audiences deeply and make a positive impact on the communities we serve. Our work particularly focuses on supporting mental health advocacy, underserved youth, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
Our programs are led by our talented ensemble of performing artists who bring extensive experience in performance and improvisation. Many of our members also have professional backgrounds in therapy, education, youth work, and social justice activism. Several have studied with the founders of Playback Theatre and other leading Playback Theatre teachers from around the world.
