"This Will Never Work"Three years ago, a theater company in West Midtown pitched an idea to Netflix: What if audiences didn't just watch stories—what if they lived them? Netflix passed. Last month, that same theater sold out 47 consecutive performances. The Secret Architecture of ImmersionThe Threshold operates out of a converted warehouse on the Westside. Every performance is limited to 40 audience members. You don't buy a ticket—you apply for an invitation. You receive a character packet two weeks before the show. The Door Is Opening for SomeThe Threshold is expanding to Old Fourth Ward this fall. They're offering "The Inner Circle"—a membership guaranteeing access to four performances per year. Applications open next Monday at 9 AM. |
