Playback Theatre in Schools

We offer an anti-bullying curriculum originally developed by Hudson River Playback Theatre Company in school environments to engage personal stories with the intention of:

  • Fostering empathy

  • Strengthening deep listening skills

  • Building the capacity to use one’s voice responsibly

  • Creating a school culture where everyone feels welcome and respected.

Our work is informed by the most current best practices in Transformative Social Emotional Learning and our curriculum is based on: Big Apple Playback Theatre Company’s No More Bullying program; the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program; and the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support program.
