Nancy Grow, of Manchester, tells a story about her experience as a teacher in a Chicago ghetto in 1968 following the death of Martin Luther King Jr.
Healing York Playback is a spin-off of Healing York Initiative, which was started to address the upheaval that surrounded the 1969 riots in York. The organizers of Playback believe that by having the audience tell true stories of what they've experienced in the community, they will be able to address the issues of race, discrimination and violence in an non-threatening environment.
Chris Fitz. facilitator, said the idea behind Playback theater is that after the audience shares its stories, the ensemble will act the scenes on the spot.
