Jen Kristel – Artistic Director, has been doing Playback Theatre for about 20 years. She offers and teaches Playback theatre locally and internationally.

As well as offering Playback, Jen is an arts based therapist in Burlington.

Donna Lescoe - Donna is drawn to working with Playback Theater because it gives her a space to explore emotions and events with sound and movement in a unique way. She is new to theater performing and is awestruck by the power and healing qualities inherit in reflecting back the essence of peoples’ stories.

Louise Stormes -Twenty five years after earning her degree in fine arts, Louise returned to college at UVM to prepare for a new career. She is now a therapist who brings her creativity and expressiveness to both work and play. She has two grown children and a big fat cat.

Michael Watson - Michael Watson has been doing Playback since before his hair turned gray. He attended grammar school in the British countryside in the wake of the Second World War. At school he learned to eat pudding, fight with the local hoodlums and speak Queen’s English. He never completely recovered from these pivotal experiences and at midlife clings to the very tatters of respectability as a counselor, teacher, and witchdoctor. In his spare time he serves as a teacher at Burlington College.
