Hello! My name is Michael "Cabbie" Caban and I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. In the summer of 2007 I started my journey with Playback Theater by participating in a couple of training classes at The Center for Playback Theater at Vassar College. I have taught pre-professional dance and drama classes for a community based organizations and have taught oversees as a volunteer educator in Colombia and Tanzania. Additionally, I founded The Collision Theory Performing Arts Collective in New York City of which I was the artistic director, a performer, and choreographer. I currently reside in Poughkeepsie, NY and am the newest member of HRPT family.

My name is Sarah Urech. I'm celebrating my tenth anniversary with HRPT. I discovered playback when studying acting in London. I graduated from the School of Playback Theatre in 1996. I am a social worker with the Oncology Support Program at Benedictine Hospital, a psychodramatist, group therapist, and youth educator. 

My name is Jody Satriani  I am an actor singer and dancer. Being a part of HRPT is an amazing way to  give back to communities, groups and individuals through this wonderful improvised art form. My favorite roles have been a mischevious squirrel, a police siren, and Our Lady of Guadeloupe. I also perform in plays and  musical theatre along with various film, television and voice acting projects. By day I am privileged to work as a pediatric occupational therapist practicing in early intervention with special needs children ages birth to 3.

Hi. I'm Debbie Lan. I am a performing, recording, singing, song-writing, teaching artist/musician currently working with toddlers to seventh-graders.

I'm Penny Clayton. I graduated from the School of Playback Theatre in 2006 and have been performing with HRPT since 1998.  I am committed to deep listening and with playback theatre I have the tool for an artistic improvisational rendering of peoples' stories, combining creative expression and community service that is deeply satisfying.
