On Friday, July 20th, at 7pm, ARTS46/4 presents Trust Me, an original immersive theatre experience starring improv duo Hawk & Wayne as Senatorial candidates hosting a public debate. Before the public hears what the would-be Senators want them to hear, they see things the politicians don't want them to see.
