The Odyssey Theatre Ensemble presents the world premiere of Theatre in the Dark, an unusual theatrical experiment made up of two separate evenings, “DARK†and “MORE DARK,†running in repertory. A most unique theater experience.
“Part of this enormous undertaking has been the analysis of what kind of plays work well in the dark, and in what sequences they should be presented.†Sossi explains. “Other issues have been logistical: devising ways for the actors to find their way around the stage with no light, and making sure that the audience will remain comfortable and safe with the theater in complete darkness.â€
Theatre in the Dark runs October 20 – December 16, with two evenings of short plays, “DARK†(opening Saturday, October 20) and “MORE DARK†(opening Saturday, November 3) performing in repertory.
