See it if The creativity. The most unique and best experience I’ve ever had in life while attending a theater show
Don't see it if If you have a fear of the dark and are unwilling to open up your mindset
See it if You must see if you're ready for an intense, immersive journey in complete darkness.
Don't see it if Don't see if you’re uncomfortable with complete darkness, intense sensory experiences, or possible triggering content (gunshot sounds).
See it if It made you have empathy for the main character. It was a unique experience and i would recommend it to absolutely anyone.
Don't see it if If you’re afraid of the dark
See it if you are open to a unique and creative theater experience
Don't see it if You are uncomfortable in the dark
See it if You want to experience the theatrical form in a new way from all the shows you have seen previously.
Don't see it if You are very afraid of the dark (performers are very accommodating and helpful in guiding you to seats, etc)
See it if You want to share a life story.
Don't see it if Some one did leave their phone on. Ugh
See it if You want to experience something incredibly unique.
Don't see it if If you’re *really* not OK with stepping ever so slightly out of your comfort zone. But you should absolutely go.
See it if You went to experience a different type of theater that taps into your other senses!
Don't see it if You have no taste!
