Detention: class of 1999
Welcome to high school, circa 1999. You and a handful of other students just got slapped with detention for getting caught up in a food fight.
Someone has to take responsibility for starting it, but no one has fessed up. With prom around the corner and scholarships on the line, the potential consequences are MAJOR. Let's hope somebody snitches, or else we're all totally screwed!
In this Ruse experience, you're not just watching the drama... you are the drama. No more sitting on the sidelines. It's time to play!
Here's the 411!
This is a play-test (ie first draft version) production of Detention, a new interactive experience.
This production is the final performance for Ruse's Inter-acting workshop series, where students learned performance techniques to transform audience members into main characters, built on the foundation of Jeff Wirth's work.
