PUFFS Team Behind Reading of New Project THE MAGNIFICENT REVENGERS

From the team that brought you the Off-Broadway hit Puffs comes a new exploration into the blurred lines of live performance, interactive storytelling, and video gaming: The Magnificent Revengers. Tilted Windmills Theatricals has joined forces withStarlight Runner Entertainment in the first ever collaboration between a theatrical producer and the leading developer of transmedia projects in entertainment.

For seven nights, spread out over two months, the Puffs team returns to their roots at The PIT to start showing their fans the next big thing they're working on. Because the show changes every night, audiences are invited to participate in what would normally be a private process to help make the right choices as this exciting production moves forward.

Performances will be at the Striker Stage at The PIT (123 East 24th Street between Park & Lexington Avenues) will be March 5th at 9 pm (Act 1 only!), March 12th at 9 pm (Act 2 only!), March 26th at 8 PM (Act 1 Redux), April 2nd at 8PM (full show), April 9th at 9 PM (full show), April 23rd at 8 PM (full show) and April 30th at 8 PM (full show). Tickets are FREE but reservations are a must.

Texas. 1907. An era of change for the American West. You are Dorothy Kelly, last of your family, and newly returned home. But coming home isn't always easy, as the ghost of your recently murdered brother soon tasks you to gather up a gang, save your town from impending doom, hunt down a few troublesome outlaws and hey -while you're at it - maybe avenge his death. From there the choices, and the consequences, are yours.

During The Magnificent Revengers the audience collectively chooses the path their journey will take. Your choices will determine where you go, who you meet, who lives, who dies, and what you become along the way. It's all in your hands, and the adventure will be different at every performance.

Free and open to the public, please reserve your seats at www.magnificentrevengers.com or https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-magnificent-revengers-developmental-reading-series-tickets-56814714340

And stick around after the reading to talk to the creative team about your thoughts on the show.

Tilted Windmills Theatricals has designed a unique interactive platform which allows audience members to "play" the show. By using their smartphone or any device with a cellular or WIFI connection (with no need to download an app!), audiences will be able to make their choice and watch how the rest of the audience is voting as the decisions come in.

For the first time, Starlight Runner CEO Jeff Gomez and his creative team will be employing their proprietary immersive storytelling process in the role of Interactive Dramaturg, helping to realize The Magnificent Revengers as an electrifying multiplatform experience.

Our mission is to be a disruptive innovator at the intersection of the popular and performing arts.

We apply this creative philosophy not only to our content but also to our business model.

In recent years, Starlight Runner has developed proprietary narrative models to help make imaginary story worlds more deeply immersive and interactive.

The Magnificent Revengers marks the first time Starlight Runner will apply these techniques to the New York stage.
