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, <i><span>Chapter 1: WanderLust</span></i> is the first part of a larger production,
aimed for a 2023 opening. Investors and sponsors can reach Adam Kern at <a href="mailto:shadowoftherun@gmail.com" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">shadowoftherun@gmail.com</a>. There will
