Company: SAATH
Show: Manasu - Echoes of the Mind
Venue: Rarig Nolte Xperimental Theatre
An Emotional Journey
As a queer Asian theatergoer, I loved seeing a story that reflected queer and Asian experiences without being about The Queer Asian Experience. Each character is navigating shifting identity and relationships in such nuanced and complex ways that was very freeing to see. I may have teared up a bit during Rish's monolog around fatherhood. A powerful story about love in all its forms that is going to stick with me for a long time.
Company: Sufian Zhemukhov
Show: An Immigrant's Guide to America
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Engaging Storyteller
Sufian knows how to tell a good story. Each one of his shows is different and I will happily go to another if I have the time. The one I caught was about dating mishaps, which were relateably awkward, sometimes sad, mostly funny, but each one pulls the audience in.
Company: David Pisa
Show: The Show Must Go On: A Backstage Escape Game
Venue: Phoenix Lobby
So Much Fun!
I love escape rooms and I love theater, and this was a great way to experience both. The puzzles were interesting without being too difficult, and the facilitator knew exactly when to step in for a little nudge without giving the game away. Good to do with friends or with strangers - I was in a group with both. It's definitely a game and not a performance, but if that's what you're looking for then this is definitely one of my top escape room experiences!
