MENACHAP, CALIFORNIA. An incomprehensible event: every person in the audience of a high school play falls unconscious—every person but one. Using interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders, and the investigators pursuing the case, a theatre ensemble brings the story of the strange event to life, documentary-style. But as the strands weave together into an increasingly dangerous web, it becomes clear that this phenomenon might not be entirely in the past. Unnerving, exhilarating, and wildly inventive, you've never walked into anything quite like Trap.
SPECIAL NOTE: Original music composed for the play by Isaiah Louis Hastings is available. The original music is optional, but highly recommended by the author. If you decide to use this music, contact the composer directly at isaiahlhastings@gmail.com.
