Hobart Playback Theatre is available for commissioned performances for conferences, workshops, community events and workplace issues in a range of settings such as workplaces or schools.
We can offer:
Playback Theatre is a powerful tool when used with an existing work team. It creates an experience which is fun and motivational, affirming, and which invites participants to see themselves and their usual patterns from a new perspective. It is particularly suited to provide benefits, either as part of a tailored workshop, or stand alone 60 – 90 minute performances.
Past clients have included the likes of Aurora Energy, Housing Tasmania, Hydro Tasmania, Risdon Prison and many different community groups. You can view a list of commissioned performances in PDF format (Download Adobe Reader)

As an instrument for professional supervision, Playback’s spontaneous role-play has assisted our staff as a group to revisit situations that have occurred in professional practice. This has, in turn, provided management and employees with the opportunity for deeper insight into these issues.
Using Playback in this way allowed staff to view their experiences form a different perspective.
-Project Hahn. October 2005
Thank you Playback. Everyone at our Pre-Conference Volunteers Day thoroughly enjoyed your humour, sensitivity, enthusiasm and warmth. It was a fabulous end to a great day.
-Australian Palliative Care Conference. September 2001
The richness of the Playback dimension was very much appreciated by the diverse audience. I think you had quite a challenge before you to draw people with such different perspectives together. Thank you so much. Your input made our end of year event quite special, putting the seal on the theme of Moving Towards a Society for all Ages.
-International Year of Older Persons. Australian Coalition. Tasmania
We really enjoyed your performance – you did a great job of listening to the stories and interpreting them with humour, warmth and imagination. It was a great end to the day.
-Hospice Care Association of Southern Tasmania. April 2000
Playback Theatre provided a wonderful way to reflect on theory as well as on our own stories. I highly recommend Playback as an alternative way to draw out people's reflections. They do so sensitively and intelligently. We were bursting with laughter at one point and moved to tears at another.
They managed to draw out the joys and deep feelings of parenting for us.

Playback Theatre was a source of inspiration at our conference
4 out of 4 - Playback Theatre was fantastic. They set the scene well and were very inclusive.
What a great way to summarise the conference and bring it to close in a positive way.
Loved Playback Theatre! Excellent idea.
