DEGENERATES – Relaxed Performance

October 3 @ 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm
$35

DEGENERATES, written by Else Went and directed by Emma Rosa Went, takes us into an obscure corner of the internet where a group of young men have built a community around a shared conviction: the game is rigged against them, they will never be loved, and there is little point in trying. When an unexpected relationship begins to form, the consequences of that fatalism become painfully clear. Darkly funny and unsettling, DEGENERATES examines an insular online community formed around shared and seemingly infinite miseries.

This is a Relaxed Performance and masks are required for all audience members. The performance is designed to create a more welcoming and flexible theatergoing environment for neurodivergent audience members, people with sensory sensitivities, and anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed performance experience. Audience movement, sound, and re-entry are welcome. House lights will remain at a low level, and a quiet space and sensory tools will be available.

There will be no changes to the onstage lighting or sound design. Information about sensory elements and other production details will be available in a Know Before You Go guide in advance of the performance.
