Discover The plot
Act 1
Transparency began with a traditional, 50 minute stage play. There was a massive house party at 9pm. It's Studio 54 themed. Audiences got a birds-eye view of the pre-game at Maya's apartment.
WHAT YOU LEARNED:
Maya and Renee were on the verge of a breakup, while Ben & Avi had some history to discuss.
Act 2
After the arrival of a few unexpected guests, the audience joined the cast on a bus ride to the party. Here, audience members became party goers, free to drink and explore the house.
Three party-goers were randomly selected to become characters in the second act.
WHO YOU BECAME:
JACOB: Ben & Avi's mutual ex.
DANI: Renee's love interest.
GUY: Ben's date for the night.
This interactive element made for electric unpredictability, and loads of plot to observe. Secrets were revealed, and kisses were shared.
Not every relationship survived the night... it's probably for the best.
The After-Party
At the end of each performance, interactors were free to reconnect with audience participants as themselves. Drinks were enjoyed, realizations were shared, and Transparency was solidified as a innovative favorite among Emerson College students.
