Con/text

Ever watched a play and thought “I would have changed THAT.” With Con/text, you have the chance. In this experimental theatre piece, four actors and one host will perform a short one-act play a total of four times. The first time? It’s pretty basic. But the host will then get audience’s suggestions for additions, changes, and challenges from a menu of over 50 different options. The play will grow with each performance, and by the final act the audience and performers will have created something truly unique together.
