Don't know if the playwright and actors of this new play "Psychodrama! A Tender Love Story in Five Sessions" in Cedar Falls, Iowa, actually know the meaning of psychodrama or not.
But they do appear to understand its therapeutic possibilities.
Grant Tracey, one of the playwright-actors, says the focus of the play is "the interface between life and art and
how art can create transformations in identity." Here's the description: "A therapist tries to get a young married couple to open up about the
dissonance they are experiencing. In the course of their first session
together he has them do a number of exercises that are more akin to theater than to therapy."
The writers developed the text
through improvisational methods, crafting three-dimensional, quirky
characters and exaggerated situations the audience will recognize. Read full story here.
