From the creative team behind TheaterWorks' wildly popular Curiouser & Curiouser immersive experiences comes an ALL-NEW theatrical adventure unlike anything you've experienced before! Introducing THE DROWNED COMPASS, a mysterious, 90-minute immersive experience that invites YOU to become part of the story! THE STORY: In 1899, an extraordinary submarine designed by the enigmatic Dr. A. H. Darcourt was scheduled to make its grand debut at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris. But before the world could see it, both the inventor and the vessel mysteriously vanished without a trace. Now, 126 years later, The Drowned Compass has been brought back to life, and YOU are invited aboard its maiden voyage! WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Rather than sitting in a traditional theatre watching a performance unfold onstage, you'll step inside a beautifully imagined Art Nouveau submarine where the story happens all around you! Meet intriguing characters, interact with the crew, enjoy live storytelling, music, and handcrafted cocktails, and discover what mysteries await beneath the surface. TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW! With just 32 passengers per voyage, this is an intimate theatrical adventure with extremely limited availability. Whether you loved our previous immersive experiences or you're curious to try something completely new, we can't wait to welcome you aboard! Curiosity Runs Deep.
