The ability of the of the actors to work with different generations and to appeal to all was superb, and the performances revealed the potential of such a wide range of emotion. The actors gave great attention to dramatic detail."

"Thank you Big Apple Playback Theatre for coming to Birchwood Center. The performance was so moving, playful, profound, funny, all of that in one evening... a real heart opener. I really admired how Hannah was able to gently persuade people in the audience to come forward to share stories, and how the actors seemed to distill them, clarifying the emotions behind them. The playback of my story was really beautiful and kind of... transporting. One thing I really enjoyed was connecting to the people around me in the audience. Getting to know people in the community through your performance was an amazing bonus!”
-Betsy Ceva, Director, Birchwood Center, Nyack, NY

“Playback Theatre and Hannah Fox bring theatre home to the human heart, where it belongs. Our students grew as performers, storytellers, and most important, as members of a creative community -- brave, watchful and passionate. Through their work, they gained confidence and performance skills and earned the respect of their peers and mentors. They found their own voices and invited others to do the same.”
-Michael Posnick, Chairman of Dance Theatre Department Manhattanville College
