Playback Memphis presents a special Juneteenth Memphis Matters performance, a celebration and commemoration of the liberation of enslaved Black people in America, and a celebration of the African Diaspora. This very special show will consist of an all-Black performance Ensemble, as well as a Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC)-only audience. Playback is spontaneous theatre based on stories told by the audience. At a Memphis Matters performance, audience members share reflections, moments, or true stories – everything from how their day has gone to an event that changed their life. That simple act of sharing is powerful on its own, but what happens next can be transformative: our talented Ensemble performs that story back for the audience. By playing it back, the richness of the story can unfold, affirming it is valued and deserves to be heard.
Through words, movement, and music, the teller, Ensemble, and audience share connection and dialogue through theatre that unites art and social change. Join us in celebrating and valuing the experiences and people of our city to unlock healing, transformation, and joy in Memphis — one story at a time.
