Playback Theatre was founded in 1975 in New Paltz, New York, by Jonathan Fox and Jo Salas and developed by the original troupe after being influenced by their experiences in the New York theater scene. True Story Theater is particularly committed to Playback Theater, which has its roots in applied theater and its unique approach to musical theater production.
Playback Theatre often has therapeutic effects, but its focus is also on building community, healing individuals and combining empathy and artistry, as it has often had therapeutic effects. This is a crucial area that communication practitioners must pursue: effective public announcements go hand in hand with the stories of survivors, who repeatedly show that a neighbor's action can save a life; community interactions reduce trauma before, during, and after a disaster; and, finally, it draws attention to the need for community organizations and schools to work with disaster stories while working on and staging scripts.
When disaster narratives are produced for research purposes, layers of meaning are further uncovered and the potential social forces of history are revealed to an expanded audience. The understanding of disaster experiences is developed, and the stories develop a potential for social power.
A specific method of performance is a strategy that results in actors performing the stories of the audience. Every viewer contributes to a true story and sees it played by an actor who tells the story in a way that encourages understanding of differences. The rest of the actors re-enact this story, focusing on the emotions and tensions expressed.

The magic and creativity comes alive through improvised acting, movements and sounds and focuses on the essence of the characters and the story. Viewers share experiences from their lives and these experiences are played back to capture the heart and essence behind the experience.
