Fun, Clever, Thought-provoking, Entertaining, Insightful

See it if You enjoy participating in a lively discussion. This felt more like a guided discussion than theatre so you get more when you speak up.

Don't see it if You don’t like immersive theatre or participation.

Entertaining, Funny, Refreshing, Thought-provoking

See it if Fun to be in immersive experience and I like improv. Good for a change of pace and something new. Musical performer Shelly was entertaining

Don't see it if You have no patience for an impromptu story evolving and don’t want to hear from fellow audience members. This group will improve over time.

Ambitious, Absorbing, Engaging, Disappointing

See it if you want to experience something different and have an interest in participating in (or observing) what's really a facilitated conversation.

Don't see it if you want a standard show. The success of this concept is completely reliant on those who participate, and their level/depth of engagement.

Immersive, Engaging, Interesting concept, Audience-dependant, Entertaining

See it if you want to be part of a conversation in a bar w/strangers and discuss mostly non-cerebral ideas concerning daily life in the city.

Don't see it if you don't want to participate. [Unlike any immersive show I know, this one's completely dependant on audience interest & involvement.] Read more

Clever, Intelligent, Quirky

See it if You're ready to participate in a wide-raging discussion with a sort-of story thrown in.

Don't see it if You demand an experience that sticks to a script.
