Behind Glass
written by Jeremy Jagusch
Something isn't right here. That book is out of place. There is a card in the display case, but no item behind it. There are antiques in the incorrect place; and artefacts that are standing wrong side up. Clearly, the venue needs your help. As curators of other nearby museums, you are called to the venue after hours in order to help figure out what is causing these disturbances.
Once inside, you are greeted by one of the exhibits who has come to life. They are happy to show you around and share tales about the other exhibits. As you hear stories from their lives, it becomes clear that one of them is the culprit behind these disturbances. The question is, which one? Succeed and you will find yourself promoted. Fail, and you may find yourself trapped behind glass forever.
This show can be accommodated in museums or libraries of any size. We have performed in everything from single buildings to large villages and adapt the show to accommodate all the site has to offer. This show will be customized to your time periods, exhibits, stacks, or popular figures on display.
The Audience Experience
Behind Glass has escape room, theatre, and murder mystery elements. Expect to work with all your fellow audience members and the actors as you try to discover which historical figure has been causing chaos at the venue.
Behind Glass is a promenade show that walks around the venue and lasts ~1 hour.
As an interactive experience, audience sizes are limited to 20-30 (depending on the venue) so that everyone is able to participate should they wish.
