Debe Edden
I am drawn to Playback Theatre because I love the stories that people share - the tender, funny, courageous and profound stories that people so graciously offer. I am proud to work with the talented and truly good folks in our company. We are a family - doing our best to love and support one another as we make our way in our lives and as artists.
