TBD Productions is a new theatre company in Northwest Ohio.  The idea for the name of the company actually comes from the Bible: 1 John 3:2 says, “Friends, here and now we are children of God.  What we will become has yet to be determined (TBD), but we know that when we see Christ, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.” After each performance TBD will offer a “talkback,” an opportunity for the actors and a moderator to engage with the audience.  One purpose of this conversation is educational, to help audience members think about the themes in the play and to wrestle with the question of how we might come together as a community, without being prompted by a catastrophe.  Also, the cast gets to find out directly what the audience thought of the show, what material resonated.  But more importantly, TBD hopes the talkbacks will give audience members an opportunity to consider the context of what they have just seen on stage.  A talkback is also an opportunity where people can hear someone else and maybe say, “That person had an experience that resonates with me, so maybe I can have a conversation with them.” In this way, the play is not just a cultural event, but also a community-building opportunity, emphasizing the community in community theatre.
