FOR ONE

a series of plays built for an audience of one

 

Experience Director Arlo Howard

[August 30 - September 30, 2017]

with (re)discover theatre

FOR ONE was a visceral fifty minute event comprised of five plays, built for an audience of one. There were two disKnct tracks to choose from. Each play was its own adventure, creating a blend of breath-taking imagery, auditory, and inKmate encounters. FOR ONE empowered its audience to affect the outcome of each play. (re)discover took over the historic Gunder Mansion, filling each room with a unique theatrical event. Audiences entered as a group of ten and were then guided through five distinctive, individual experiences. Each door in the mansion opened onto a world all its own. A world that put the audience in an essential role. The creators of FOR ONE were inspired by the opportunities offered with a live solo audience. When creating each director asked themselves how to empower our audience.

outcome of the stories

"haunting, soothing, unsettling, hearfelt, sad, and so much more

-Splash Magazine

- Picture This Post

"an alluring, challenging, highly imaginative playground"
