*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. *Performances Dates:* June 25-27 July 1-3 July 9-11 Runtime – 60 minutes, with no intermission.

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@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. ### <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
