[NEohioPAL] Opening Night - Railroaded: A Shadow of the Run Story Immersive Pop-Up

[Shadow of the Run]

Shadow of the Run LLC in cooperation with Executive Producers SecretPond
are excited to announce the opening of their immersive pop-up, *Railroaded:
A Shadow of the Run Story*.

*Railroaded: A Shadow of the Run Story,* will premiere an original story in
a limited engagement January 9 to12, 2020 in the City of Bedford. Tickets
are selling quickly, but there are some remaining time slots. and can be
purchased at www.shadowoftherun.com.



The story is set during the Great Depression, when desperate men and women
traveled the country’s railways seeking work or a fresh start, but many
tearing their families apart in order to provide for them. An unfortunate
time where the less fortunate could disappear without a trace – whether by
their own hand, or by another. Add a serial killer to the story and
discover how easy it is to become railroaded yourself.



*Why Immersive Theater?*

“Audiences today are choosing personal experiences over the purchase of
physical objects. Immersive theatre dives into this mindset - a guest can
attend multiple performances and have a completely different experience
based on the choices they make throughout the evening. Combining elements
from theatre, night clubs, and personal exploration into one evening of
fully engaging entertainment, audiences will want to gather afterwards to
share their experience and make plans for their next trip,” in a statement
prepared by the four founders.



Railroaded fits between 2019’s *Chapter 1: WanderLust* and *Chapter 2:
Calloused*, which will tentatively premier in the summer of 2020.



*Background Information *

project was awarded a $1,000 grant as an audience favorite from Notre Dame

opportunity to bring immersive theater to the city of Cleveland.
