See it if pure theatrical magic
Don't see it if Just see it!
See it if You are deeply looking for that kind of off-the-wall, yet totally accessible experience, that is the reason you moved to this city.
Don't see it if You get alarmed by sudden loud noises or NEED a coherent sense of plot. I usually prefer more plot clarity but still loved it.
See it if you like totally original theatre, integration of technology and performance, and thinking about something for days after you've seen it.
Don't see it if loud noises and/or bright lights scare you.
See it if you're intrigued by the space- & time-bending journey of a charming man driven to madness by his genius. Experimental theater at its best.
Don't see it if you prefer your fourth wall to stay firmly in place; you dislike multi-sensory, discombobulating experiences; you want your plot spelled out
See it if You're really into technical theater and the bleeding edge of stagecraft and performance.
Don't see it if You're not looking for an intense experience or are really put off by bro-philosophical takes on contemporary physics.
See it if You like performances that surprise you and mess with your perception of reality.
Don't see it if Strobe lights, loud noises bother you.
See it if you want an experience that stretches your thoughts and senses. Takes advantage of the marvelous advanced tech of the 3 Legged Dog Theater.
Don't see it if you startle easily, need to stay calm for health reasons or expect a plot.
See it if Amazing, indescribable experience of sensory overload, with impeccably choreographed technical, visual and aural effects. Will blow you away
Don't see it if you need a coherent plot or don't like flashing lights, high tech effects. It's an experience for the senses, not a traditional play.

"Schneider makes revelatory theater from a surprising combination of physics lessons, trippy sound and light effects—and, eventually, a meditation on love...Toying with our senses this theatrically would be exciting enough. But Schneider finds a route to our emotions too. Through some impressive stage magic, the piece morphs into a searching meditation on our craving, amid the randomness, to share a moment in space with someone else. This month, head to 3LD and share one with Schneider."

"Schneider wonders about our brushes with death—what if at each near miss our present reality spun off into another reality? And what if there were endless versions of ourselves floating around in parallel universes? And then he displays this idea in a wholly original way that completely blows my mind. I can’t spoil it for you here, but MAN, this is the most unique thing I’ve seen in the theater."

"Andrew Schneider’s breathtaking play delivers the same kind of hazy, disjointed, surrealistic experience that the best dreams provide...The play feels like it is part commentary on the plugged-in world we now inhabit and part performance art, with the intensity of a confessional and more than a touch of humor...The whole show is like that, really—odd and fascinating and funny. It’s an experience that both challenges and charms. And invites you to visit again."

"The sound, lighting and tech design of 'Youarenowhere' formally performs the ever-present tension between (and fusion of) technology and humanity...The only missing piece is its reluctance to verbally process the very difficult and very daunting possibility that we are becoming machines and that machines are becoming us...In provoking both awe and intense existential questioning, 'Youarenowhere' (somehow) simultaneously satisfies one’s inner child and cynic. It should not be missed."

"Everything is dialed up in Andrew Schneider's brilliant piece 'YOUARENOWHERE,' everything from sound, lights and performance burst forth at increasing levels of intensity...'YOUARENOWHERE' is a dazzling trip through time, physics and life...I feel like I could watch 'YOUARENOWHERE' multiple times and find something new in it with each viewing, but one thing will be constant: the joy of watching something utterly original from an artist at the top of his game."

"'YOUARENOWHERE' is a very experimental piece about a guy who starts giving a physics lecture and it's very manic and weird errors start happening. I think I learned more about special relativity than I ever did in high school. It includes some fun jumpscare situations. It's a technical marvel. It changes the theatrical landscape of what it is that we can do—regardless of what he's talking about, the tech alone, watching him use this tech alone is like, 'Oh!'"

"Performances that rely this heavily on technology can often feel dead inside. This is not a show like that. Instead it continually finds new ways to challenge and engage its viewers, to surprise and mystify us...This is a show about presence, about immediacy, about the hitches and hiccups of life in the phenomenal universe. With his tech and his tricks and his intensified monologues, Mr. Schneider explores the continuities and differences in the world each of us perceives."

"I wanted to curl up in a ball and refuse to leave the theater until it was performed again. And that was well before the show bent everything I thought I knew out of shape. It's rare for me to be so easily won over so soon in a show but I fell hard for this one. Basically I want to tell you to go see this show without knowing anything about it. Read nothing. Just go. Talk to me after."
