Anonymous at spit&vigor tiny baby black box theater

ANONYMOUS by Nick Thomas

Time Out NYC: One of the Best Immersive shows in NYC.

This deeply intimate play brings you front and center to witness an addiction support group. When support group leader Charlie is a no-show, a nervous Richard steps up to take control. Addiction, hope and sobriety are all at stake when the group must face their biggest threat so far - a challenge from within. Anonymous is a truly unique theater experience: the audience sits in the circle with the actors and experiences first hand what the characters are going through.

We "embed" the audience among the actors, the audience sits among them, so that the audience becomes kind of invisible voyeurs. It retains the intimacy of interactive theater but removes the performance pressure, and creates a really intimate, connected atmosphere where the audience almost become co-conspirators with each other, exchanging looks like people overhearing a dramatic fight on the subway.

From the acclaimed site-specific company that brought In Vestments to West Park Presbyterian Church (called “wrenching and visually eloquent” by The New York Times) and Ectoplasm to The Players Theatre (“tenacity ground into every red velvet seat - in other words, I love it” - Vulture), ANONYMOUS puts you right there in the room, making you a fly on the wall as you watch this raw, powerful, confronting and intimate look at addiction and sobriety. Theater company spit&vigor brings their ingenuity and skill to transform their space into a place of hope, comradery, free coffee and (of course) chocolate cream cookies - refreshments provided by spit&vigor.
