FOR ONE

a series of plays built for an audience of one

FOR ONE is a series of experiences built for an audience of one, taking over the historic Gunder Mansion. Each room in the house contained a different experience for one, in which the audience played an integral role in the story.

 

This visceral fifty minute event contained two distinct tracks each with five unique experiences. Each door in the Gunder Mansion opens onto a world all its own. A world that puts the audience in an essential role. Each its own adventure, creating a blend of breath-taking imagery, auditory, and intimate encounters. Each play directly responding to the audience members choices creating a totally one-of-kind experience. 

"each room feels like a special customizable adventure

"you’re immediately drawn into the midst of action"

- Buzz Chicago

"a kaleidoscope of deeply personal, wildly varied experiences that allow audience members to make choices that affect the

outcome of the stories

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

-Splash Magazine

- Picture This Post

"an alluring, challenging, highly imaginative playground"
