You’re invited to the most anticipated social event of the year! The Westcott family is hosting their annual extravagant birthday party for their dear twins, Drew and Astrid. On the anniversary of the mysterious death of their mother Elizabeth, the family strives to keep their traditions sacred even as they welcome new blood. The All is One.
Outside, the world lies in turmoil as the Republic grows violent and the Resistance struggles to stay alive. It’s an evening full of secrets, lies, intrigue and power—no matter who you follow or where your loyalties lie.
The Westcotts do love a good theme party. This year we celebrate the “Gods and Goddesses” in a nod to Elizabeth’s love of mythology and art. Audience members dressed in their best interpretation of the theme are more likely to be selected for unique experiences. So dress to impress.
Help uncover the truths of one of the darkest choose-your-own-adventure immersive experiences that TBD has ever presented. With 30+ characters to interact with, you’ll find unique one-on-one experiences and a different mystery every time.
Discover why DC Metro Theater Arts says our work is “…close to sensory overload in the best way.
Original Cast and Creative Team
Please Note:
The show is a fully devised piece that includes both scripted scenes and improvised interactions with our audience. Our creative team begins by creating the world, including a sketch of the characters and their narrative arc for the evening. Actors bring the characters to life, working together with the creative team to flesh out the objectives of each character so they can fully inhabit the world of Under(world).”
