Thanksgiving News

While preparing this newsletter yesterday, we learned an LGBTQ club was attacked in Colorado Springs. This heartbreaking news cuts across our community both locally and nationally.
Every month when we put our news together, we are reminded of the diversity, the openness and the empathy of the world we call immersive. We don't just embrace difference, we celebrate it and share it. We've believe that immersive is unique in putting audiences into others' shoes, of developing empathy. We hope so. We hope that we can be a small part of changing the world into a more humane, loving place.
This Thanksgiving weekend, take a moment to reach out to your friends and family, but also to your fellow creatives. Give them a hug, in person or virtually. Remind them that they matter and encourage them to continue to create bravely.
Our thanks this holiday is that we can be a part of this group we call immersive. And this newsletter, in particular, is a celebration of the endless love and creative life you all bring to the world.

Along the way you will encounter yokai and obake (Japanese spirits and demons) and other unexpected characters, discover hidden secrets within forgotten spaces, and engage with interactive elements that ask them to consider relationships between intention and impact.
This production was made possible through the collaboration of Luster Productions, Theatre Artibus and Control Group Productions and is co-presented by Starry Night Productions.
