Clever, Delightful, Ambitious

See it if you are not an actor, and want a glimpse of what it is like to be backstage. Truly, "the roar of the greasepaint, the small of the crowd".

Don't see it if you are not comfortable walking in narrow, dark hallways for 2 hours, and participating with groups.

Ambitious, Clever, Cliched, Entertaining, Great staging

See it if you want a rare glimpse of the goings-on back-stage of a theatre... courtesy of some theatre ghosts.

Don't see it if you'll be uncomfortable w/immersive theatre, where actors interact w/you, some participation is required & you're constantly on the move.

Absorbing, Clever, Enchanting, Ambitious, Confusing

See it if You're interested in new dramatic forms that break the 4th wall & use audience interaction & non-linear storytelling to romanticize theatre.

Don't see it if You intensely dislike all interactive theatre (e.g., Sleep No More), especially pieces that have you moving around for over two hours.

Absorbing, Intense, Intelligent, Thought-provoking, Refreshing

See it if you enjoy Third Rail's other productions like the brilliant "Then She Fell". While the plot here is not quite as defined, there is a story.

Don't see it if you don't like immersive theater, or are hoping to actually get onstage -- you're everywhere in the theater, it seems, but there!

Fun, Entertaining, Ambitious, Creative, Experiential

See it if you enjoy creative participatory experiences, great venues choreography and acting.

Don't see it if you need a story to link the different scenes or a semblance of a plot. A couple of scenes are not as great. Read more

Clever, Fun, Entertaining, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if You enjoy immersive theater. Very cool unique experience that puts you in the middle of the action.

Don't see it if More of a theatrical 'experience' than a regular play. The story is weak & some scenes are slow & unnecessary. Read more

Clever, Entertaining, Quirky, Absorbing, Enchanting

See it if You like immersive theater, a chance to participate, want to be backstage and in the parts of a theater you never see as an audience member

Don't see it if You want a story with a clear plot, don't want to participate in the play, or can't navigate in tight spaces or up/down stair Read more
