What I didn't like
For some reason I didn’t get the initial e-mail and waiver. Not sure what happened, but I luckily found the place.
My overall impression
This was my first foray in to on-on-one immersive theater, and I wasn’t sure to expect. I heard vague stories from previous years that Annie’s piece were very intense, but this one said it was PG, so I was up for anything.
The show was very simple. A conversation over coffee or tea. I was a bit nervous and spent way too much time choosing a mug, (Sorry!) But when we got to sitting down and got in to the story it was really magical. A wonderful story about family, love, disappointment, and the feeling of being an outsider. I really identified with what she was saying. It moved me deeply.
I’m relatively a shy introvert around people who I have never met. Annie made me feel very comfortable, and the bravery to be that intimate with her story – telling it as a good friend would – made it an amazing experience. (That said, it was hard to break out of my shell. It was such a subtle performance, like (talking vaguely here to avoid spoilers) when you realize the significance of what she gives you. Just masterful.
I highly recommend this. I wish it would have gone on much longer.
And I think I missed the part about buying the mugs. I’d be interested in one of those.
