Relevant, Resonant, Slow, Ambitious, Absorbing

See it if You like social gatherings with a twist, beautiful set design, and having honest and thought provoking conversations.

Don't see it if You’re expecting a scripted show, are uncomfortable talking in groups. Read more

Refreshing, Profound, Great staging, Delightful, Absorbing

See it if you like immersive shows that will make you think (and talk) and engage with both actors and fellow audience members in a very cool setting.

Don't see it if you don't want to be a part of a show. It's more of a transport to a new world than a show...

Great atmosphere, Great cocktails, Ambitious, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if You'd like to explore the humanity of your fellow theater-goers, in cozy intimate settings.

Don't see it if You don't want to engage fully with random stories from other theater-goers as well as yourself. You basically have to talk.

Masterful, Great acting, Enchanting, Clever, Ambitious

See it if you love transformative surreal incredible set design or want (mostly)grounded/real performers with real thoughts/opinions, you love to talk

Don't see it if you hate to talk, you hate having to participate, scenic design does not impress you, you want a scripted story told to you(entirely improv)

Thought-provoking, Unique, Great set, Absorbing

See it if You enjoy conversations with strangers, really amazing immersive set

Don't see it if You don't want to talk Read more

Thought-provoking, Profound

See it if you enjoy self-reflection, listening to others. It was an enjoyable experience speaking, connecting with other thoughtful individuals

Don't see it if want a show as a passive observer. Also, your experience might vary depending on the actor, groups, and everyone's willingness to get deep

Magical sound design, Charismatic “hosts”, Heavy audience input, Ambitious, Unique theatre experience

See it if 3 rooms with 3 hosts, each with unique character: playful or mysterious or chill, all for facilitating conversation. Strangers open up cuz..

Don't see it if we’re strangers who might not meet again, also due to the atmosphere the space/sound/light/actors created. Blur line of actor vs audience.. Read more

Confusing, Entertaining, Clever

See it if you are looking for an immersive and experimental experience

Don't see it if you want a plot, are expecting typical immersive theater, this is unique and more of a social experiment with low theatrical performance. Read more
