The previous immersive theatre experiences I’ve participated in have each been very much worth the trip. I’m very much looking forward to this one. Mike Davis of WBEZChicago got a pre-debut tour of David Byrne’s upcoming Theatre of The Mind and wrote about it.
In addition to being ever curious about immersive theatre experiences I’m a long time David Byrne fan, so this will be an exciting double dip.
I won’t begin to try and explain immersive theatre as a concept here, except to say it’s always a journey. Sometimes extremely satisfying, sometimes not so much. But then so is life.
I thoroughly enjoyed and was quite moved by the Albany Park Theater Project’s Port of Entry that Davis mentions in the piece. As an old theatre veteran, whenever the form lifts me out of my viewing habits I’m always intrigued.
