What is "verbatim theater"?
Verbatim theater is a style of performance that uses the exact words spoken by real people as the script. This method involves collecting interviews, conversations, and other sources of spoken material and presenting them on stage without altering the original text. The actors perform these verbatim accounts to recreate real-life events, stories, or social issues, often aiming to provide an authentic and impactful representation of the subject matter. The goal of verbatim theater is to offer a direct and unfiltered portrayal of real experiences and viewpoints, highlighting the voices and perspectives of those involved.
