I've been doing Playback Theatre for over four years now, and knew by the end of the evening on April 12th, that we'd had a special performance and stories. But even i was surprised to hear from strangers after the show about how this kind of artistic form was needed for community dialog in York. Hey folks, we're not running for president. But it was encouraging.

In 2003, i started the Jubilee Troupe with a desire to take my peacemaking work beyond politics. I had been working in a human rights nonprofit organization and the invasion of Iraq began despite enormous evidence of its impending doom. Sick of politics and policy-making, i returned to the world of the arts that i'd nurtured only part-time for years. The Jubilee Troupe was begun.
