WORK IN PROGRESS:
R+J: Closing Night
An immersive, interactive love letter to live theatre.
Currently in process with The Fox Den Collective, this immersive show features two plays running simultaneously: a production of Romeo and Juliet onstage, and a new script based on the relationships of a fictionalized cast and crew behind the scenes.
Audiences are split into two, with half going backstage and the other into the theatre’s auditorium. Viewers change locations at intermission as the production “rewinds” to the beginning, showing the audience what they missed from the other perspective.
The interactive heartbeat of the play occurs when things go awry, and the backstage audience members are invited to actively participate in problem solving both on and offstage.
R+J: Closing Night (previously titled Two Show Day) has been in progress since 2020. Stay tuned for an exciting update!
