What I liked
The host is full of warm energy and the technical elements are on point. Great lighting, diversity in scripts that can be played by any person, obviously an incredibly cool concept and a very strong production team
You won’t ever experience the same show twice and there’s also the dual experiences of watching a story and volunteering to act in one.
What I didn't like
Perhaps some light editing of the scripts to remove some redundant moments and keep the pace a little tighter. I also wonder what it would be like if the audience didn’t hear the actual spoken word prompts and just the characters inner thoughts.
My overall impression
A perfect fringe show! It’s cool, weird, fun, and a whole experience that would never been the same show twice. Basically it is an audio immersive experience where they pick volunteer “actors” to come onstage and follow the prompts.
I was picked to be an actor and how grateful I was to experience this! As an actor it’s like a virtual acting exercise where you are hearing an inner monologue and reacting in the moment though a guided narration, but then you get to connect with a partner who has their own inner monologue that you can’t hear. It was exciting and meditative, I wish I could do it again. I highly recommend volunteering.
As an audience member I got to experience the other two stories. I loved laughing at their inner thoughts and seeing how the volunteers embodied them. Another fun thing is as an audience member you can switch from Character Blue to Character Green, toggling between different people’s wants and objectives.
Overall, this production is incredibly organized and well thought out. The work they have done to get this concept here is immense and they have incredible vision and awesome plans for the future.
