Los Angeles, CA—“The Truth” is an immersive theatrical experience that will literally send guests on a journey through Hollywood. Audience members participate in the performance and play roles in the production itself in this surreal, dreamlike adventure.

The performance is the debut production of the women-led Shine On Collective, a new creative force in experimental theater just entering the L.A. theater scene.

“We’re using Hollywood itself as our stage,” said Marlee Delia, director, producer and founder of Shine On Productions. “Our team is having so much fun with this unique, immersive experience for the Fringe Festival. We get to create the world and we’re so excited for you to explore it.”

After being told they have ESP with the ability to hear the thoughts of others, the audience is sent on a strange walking tour through the city, where they will be approached by an array of characters as the plot thickens. Portions of the show will involve the audience listening to tracks on headsets, and throughout the show the audience will interact directly with the cast.

“This is not just a play,” Anna Mavromati, playwright and assistant director, said. “It’s an adventure. We want the audience to play along, interact and explore.”

This is not a traditional theatrical production. The entire play takes place outdoors and audiences are advised to wear comfortable shoes. “The Truth” invites its audience to walk a thin line between fantasy and reality, between theater and real life.
