Collision Productions We Might Be Experimenting On YouTHIS SHOW IS IN THE FRIGID HANGOVERS!
Tickets: $16 (Students, Seniors, Unicorns and Donors $12) |
Drs. Jones and Bernazky (BFA, PhD, WTF) are seeking participants in a theatrical research study. “Lab rats” are invited to join them on an immersive, experimental journey of delight and surprise.
Bernazky and Jones have turned the conventions of theater on its head to create a space of heightened awareness and utter uncertainty. Who is the audience? Who is the performer? What’s with the lab coats? All that is certain is this: from the moment you walk in, all bets are off. Every show is different. Every show is an experiment. It’s an exciting fusion of improvisation, participatory theater and social experiment that takes audience members on a roller coaster ride of terror, hilarity and enchantment. We Might Be Experimenting On You isn’t for the faint of heart or the high of heel – it’s for everyone searching for the kind of joy that can’t be found sitting in your seat. |
