Peter Reder's Guided Tour elicited giggles in the dark at the Carnegie.

Pittsburgh City Paper - Pittsburgh: "They were a giggly bunch, last Tuesday night. Some older folks, some high school girls, a smattering of solo guests, but they all chuckled and guffawed with sugary enthusiasm. Maybe it was because they didn't really know what to expect. All they knew was that a man named Peter Reder would guide them through the Carnegie Museum, two hours after the doors had closed and the main lights were shut off. They had heard that Reder might mislead them. But what did he look like? What would he say, and where would they venture? The giggles were anxious."

I think what is most impressive about Peter Reder's Guided Tour's are that he does not stay at one location to do them. This means that from place to place, he is coming up with new material that must continue to interest and captivate audiences from different areas. That in itself is very impressive. Also, the Tour itself seems like a great twist on history, and I wish I had been able to see this part of Pittsburgh's Festival of Firsts.

This sounds like so much fun. Jed Harris was talking about Theatre of the Senses which he saw the other week. it seems like a theme with these PIFOF shows is small, intimate or one on one pieces.
