7.8 out 10 Above Average. www.latheatrebites.com Ripped from the pages of the Frank L. Baum's “Land of OZ” novels, The Speakeasy Society's newest piece throws audiences into the middle of an alternate reality game (ARG) inspired experience that takes place in real time and evolves according to audiences' responses.
This is a first: an After Dark episode with someone who isn't on the No Pro team. Here's another first: talking to a member of The Speakeasy Society solo... well, mostly solo. Maybe there are special guests. Maybe not all of the are human. Maybe you'll have to listen to find out what we mean by that. This is one of those lovely philosophical discussions about the form where we really get our hands dirty. And occasionally curse. So grab a drink (but don't drive!) and join us After Dark, won't you? OH, YEAH: I totally give you a hint at what's going on with the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the tickets for which go on sale at MIDNIGHT MAY 1st.
