'The Haunted' explores immersive storytelling

Written by

This fall, the Upper School Theater Department invited a limited set of audiences to follow them into a series of stories that explored the haunting and lingering impact of unfinished business. Using the storytelling device of immersive theater, a technique that uses space and design to curate a tangible and sensory environment, while focusing on the personal and individual audience experience, each actor spun a web of mystery and, ultimately, resolution.

Each subplot was authored by Director of Theater Andrew Geha, and audience members were randomly assigned to a protagonist who, bit by bit, uncovered their truth in search of the viewer's truth.
