by NoPro Newswire | Sep, 2025 | No Proscenium: After a sold out run at the start of the year, The ThotBot Implantation Center is reopening its doors in Somerville, MA to fix glitched ThotBots in Greater Boston.
If your ThotBot is glitched, it might be time for a tuneup.

I love theatrical and immersive experiences and this sounds so interesting. I especially love its connection to the real world and the political message behind it. It reminds me of my other favorite immersive experience which is meow wolf. The one in Denver, CO. is so insanely cool and I literally spent hours inside and didn’t even discover all the rooms that apparently exist. You feel like you are in another world and I like how ThotBot is connected to current real world issues but still is immersive and an experience that does both at the same time. ThotBot gives me the same vibes as the book 1984 and the idea of the thought police which is just so relevant right now. I think also with the concept of people getting chips implanted into their brain being something that was proposed in the real world but is something in this dystopian experience really adds to what the idea behind ThotBot is.
I literally love immersive theatrical experiences like this so so so much. I think they're so fun. I've been to a few things like this, one example that comes to mind is meow wolf, which is sorta part museum, part escape room, part acid trip. When you walk in everything is colorful and full of life. there are so many cool ways they use lighting and sound to bring you into the space. as you wander through there are lots of different rooms that have different little themes. As you go through theres a quest you can try to complete, and actors dispersed about that help to tell the story. One of the cool things about this though is that unless you discover that there is an elaborate story line and a quest, you could go through the whole thing without fully knowing that. It takes some level of attention to the details, a thing many people don't do, so if you're locked in and can appreciate the complexity you have such a different experience. truly there are so many different things happening at once and its such a cool place to visit. I'm very excited to pay the ThotBot when I'm at home next, I think boston needs more fun experimental theater.
Very cool! I love the concept of the waiting/moment before being the experience vs the moment people are waiting for. I definitely feel some inspiration from MKUltra and other experiments on American citizens mentioned here. While I know that it’s not a new concept, I wonder if this is going to be seen at some point with Neurolink or any of these other proposed projects. The introduction of a protagonist is interesting to me since I feel like as an immersion practice its better to keep the audience's vessel blank, but I love that they used it to supply a concert and music element to the whole thing. Maybe its to juxtapose the stirile group perfection of ThotBot with something very human and unique as music. I wish it talked a little more on the delivery method of the podcast as I’ve seen narrative fiction done a few different ways, I hope they did it kind of like a radio play. I think I’ll try to give it a listen.
