Logo of Alterra Productions

“Doors open at the Brand New Media Theatre Caberet Space this August! Thanks to a generous donation from the tragedy-ridden Alden family in nearby Philadelphia, the borough of Media is gaining a venue. Come celebrate with the cream of Media society and glad-hand with the handsome leading men and beautiful diva that will be gracing the stage in the coming months. Get ready to hang on to the edge of your seat as you watch them perform in their latest creative musicale in a spectacle fit for society’s finest! Just like Broadway, but in the best of boroughs at The Media Theatre! “ Join Alterra Productions in the world of Poison Garden again this August at the Media Theatre - The Garden has been transplanted, and finds itself in a whole new environment. Watch how it grows and finds a new Harvest outside of the grounds of the Alden homestead when its dark purpose intersects with the thriving theatrical community on the eve of their greatest triumph - a preview show for the donors and press of Media society before their grand opening. Featuring new and returning talent and directed by Alterra frontrunner Kaitlin Chin, this immersive show allows you to step into the horrific events of one summer evening at Media that “weaves together…fully lived-in storylines to tell a tale of epic proportions” against the lavish backdrop of Media Theatre. This show is an immersive, sandbox-style experience. You are able to wander sections of the theatre freely, including never-before-seen areas that hearken back to its beginnings in 1927. The different floors are accessible by stairs or an elevator. There is no specific “seating area” although there are places for audience to temporarily sit as they observe the company of actors throughout the evening. There is a cash bar available, as well as small bites. The show runs approximately 70 minutes, and afterwards there will be a talkback featuring members of the cast and crew. All tickets are $45 All Performances at 8pm: Wednesday, Aug 2 Thursday, Aug 3 Friday, Aug 4 Saturday, Aug 5 Wednesday, Aug 9 Thursday, Aug 10 Friday, Aug 11 Sunday, Aug 13 (Yes, Sunday)... Show More
