ABOUT
Bessie Award-Winning
Then She Fell by Third Rail Projects
Then She Fell was a fully immersive, multisensory experience in which only 15 audience members per performance explored a dreamscape where every alcove, corner, and corridor had been transformed into a lushly designed world. Inspired by the life and writings of Lewis Carroll, it offered an Alice-like experience for audience members as they explored the rooms, often by themselves, in order to discover hidden scenes, encounter performers one-on-one, unearth clues that illuminated a shrouded history, use skeleton keys to gain access to guarded secrets, and imbibed custom elixirs.
