[Shadow of the Run]

*SHADOW OF THE RUN *

*presents*

DreamWalkers

*Premiering live and in person on June 25, in Bedford, OH*



BEDFORD, Ohio – May 2021 – Shadow of the Run LLC (SotR) Co-Founders Adam
Kern, Beth McGee, Ben Needham and Christine Woods announced that their
Immersive Theatre project *DreamWalkers, *will premiere live and in person
in a limited engagement in June and July 2021 in the City of Bedford.



*DreamWalkers* is SotR’s fourth production in Cleveland. Since their first
production, *Shadow of the Run – Chapter 1: WanderLust* premiered in June
2019, followed by *RAILROADED: A Shadow of the Run Story*, and *The Torso
Book Club*, a virtual immersive that raised $5,000 for Cleveland local
artists that lost work due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The company’s vision
to develop Northeast Ohio audiences’ taste for immersive and interactive
theatre continues this summer in a story of mystery and intrigue, while
offering a safe and socially distanced in-person event.



“We are excited to continue plans for the remainder of our *Torso
Cycle*: *Chapter
2: Calloused, *and *Chapter 3: Kingsbury Run*, but in the meantime as we
all emerge back into the world from the past year, we are thrilled to
continue to build on our partnership with the Bedford community and local
businesses to bring *DreamWalkers* to light!” said Co-Founder Adam Kern.



Co-Founder Christine Woods continued, “Joining us again are our producing
partners, SecretPond. Our partnership with the SecretPond team has been a
delightful collaboration over the past three years, and we look forward to
working together to continue to bring immersive entertainment to the
greater Cleveland area.”



*About the DreamWalkers story*



Dreams. Visions. Prophesies. Nightmares.  Chloe can no longer tell the
difference when reality collides with her dream world. Only the
*DreamWalkers* can forge a path through this immersive journey of grim
ancestries and unsettling futures. Can we outgrow the sins of our
ancestors, or are we stuck in the trap of everlasting nightmares? Help
Chloe untangle the vivid and strange plotlines of her unconscious. But be
careful; in exposing these secrets you may risk life and limb and stay
forever lost in Chloe’s slumber.



Directed by Cleveland local Dan Hendrock, with a story by Beth McGee, with
additional story elements by Christine Woods and Carol Dolan. Production
design by Bedford resident and co-founder Ben Needham, and line producing
by Adam Kern.

*Why Immersive*



Immersive theatre allows guests to attend multiple performances and have a
completely different experience based on the path they take for 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.



*“**DreamWalkers *is an investigation of heroine Chloe’s complicated
psychological dreamscape. Chloe is researching her past in order to form
her future, but the eventual outcome is uncertain without the help of the
audience as they participate in Chloe’s dreams. Performed in Bedford’s
historic town square and in a labyrinth of outdoor spaces and rooms in a
nearby 1920’s house, *DreamWalkers* takes the audience on a journey into
Chloe’s past and through Cleveland history” said Beth McGee, Playwright,
Co-Founder, Shadow of the Run LLC.



*Background Information*



Shadow of the Run was conceived in December 2015 by Beth McGee and Adam
Kern. In January 2016 the project was awarded a $1,000 grant as an audience
favorite from Notre Dame College’s SEAChange Program, prior to appearing in
the Cleveland Leadership Center’s Accelerate Competition in February of the
same year. With initial support from Joe and Anthony Russo, the team
continued development to find the right opportunity to bring Immersive to
the city of Cleveland. As implied in the title, *Chapter 1: WanderLust* is
the first part of a larger production, aimed for a 2023 opening. Investors
and sponsors can reach Adam Kern at shadowoftherun at gmail.com. There will
also be a pre-sale Kickstarter campaign leading up to the 2021 performance.



Beyond the founding creators and producers Secret Pond LLC, current
production team members include Costume Designer April Rock, Choreographer
Cheryl Turski; and Sound Designer Aaron Needham. Additional support
provided by Three Driveway Media and Red Bicycle Media. Shadow of the Run
is grateful for the generous support of Mayor Stan Koci, City Manager Mike
Mallis, the Downtown Bedford Alliance and company champion Brett Holycross,
of Sirna’s Café.



*Shadow of the Run LLC* will present ongoing original immersive works in
the vein of Punch Drunk’s production of *Sleep No More* which has been
running continuously since 2009 in Hell’s Kitchen. After *WanderLust* and
the subsequent continuation of the *Torso Cycle*, the company has three
other projects they plan on premiering in Cleveland, in hopes of making the
city the Immersive capital of the Midwest.
