Welcome to The Waiting Room, an immersive site-specific experience where the audience checks in with the host, fills out intake forms, receives a number, is given a pair of headphones to listen to their choice of three audio tracks, and waits for their number to be called. And waits. And waits.

This show has a capacity of 30 audience members and it is exactly what it says, a waiting room. There will be forms to complete and a host to talk to, but mostly there will be waiting. 30 will wait. 5 will be called. The only way to know if you are one of the chosen is to buy a ticket. We appreciate your patience.
