Playbackers interested????

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My name is Mark Beauregard. I am a drama therapist working on a child

inpatient psychiatry unit at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn. We are a

small unit of 11 beds, with children ages 6-12.

I am writing to reach out to any playback companies or players who

might be interested in doing a small performance (or even possible

workshop) on our unit. I have discussed this with the administration

and I'm not certain what kind of monetary payment we could provide,

but I would certainly be willing to fight for payment.

Being a previous member of a playback company, I have wanted to bring

playback into my workspace for a long time. I believe strongly in it

and think both the staff and children would benefit so much.

If you are interested please contact me at markbeauregard@...

and please pass this along to anyone you feel might be interested.

Thanks so much,

Mark Beauregard, MA, RDT

hello,

I don't really know what " playback companies are, " but if it means

basically coming and doing a performance for the kids, than have you

contacted rd? I interned on an in-patient psych unit at North

General and we had groups of students come and perform for the

patients. they did skits, singing, monoloques, whatever they chose to

prepare. the patients really enjoyed it. i think it's something like part of

their curriculum to do these sort of things at various places. maybe

they'll do a workshop.

just a thought..

liza.
