One who is relatively young has brought a show to Think Tank in downtown Los Angeles with a new twist. The Rope transcends audiences to a new world.
As the audience ventures into the world of Conscientia, it is quite obvious this is not your normal play. By following a rope, the audience is led through different scenes pushing them to truly listen and understand where the story will take them. Choices have to be made and paths will be chosen. Each new scene extends upon the last, giving the participant a true understand of what has happened in this world.
