Fully Immersive CAUGHT to Make L.A. Premiere at Think Tank Gallery

www.broadwayworld.com: The award-winning Firefly Theater and Films, in association with THINK TANK GALLERY and Vs. Theatre, will present the Los Angeles Premiere of the 2016 Obie-winner for playwriting, CAUGHT, by Christopher Chen.

The show will be the first fully immersive production of CAUGHT - set "inside" and integrated into a real art show at Think Tank Gallery in Downtown LA - and will be directed by New York's rising star director Ed Sylvanus Iskandar. It will feature Louis Changchien, Jackie Chung, Jessica Kaye, and Steven Klein.

I am so sad to be missing this show in Los Angeles! However, this article was a good reminder to be more on the look out for more innovative theatre around the city when I am back home this winter. CAUGHT seems like a really cool version of immersive theatre. I am always a little nervous to go see and participate in immersive theater, and am especially nervous when I hear anything about the process of making immersive theatre. Because this type of production depends so greatly on the space in which you hold the show and the people that come to it (both of which are commonly out of control for a production team), it can go very wrong very quickly. However, CAUGHT seems like it would do a good job of putting on 'this type of theatre though, if not just for its interdisciplinary qualities.
