Audience Role
This is an environmental theatre piece - most interaction is simply in the form of there being no "fourth wall." The audience will be welcomed into and dismissed from the studio. The show begins upon entering the space, with the ushers in character. Audience members may be asked questions within scenes, but mostly they will be engaged with as objects of focus during monologues.
