Every person in a theater falls unconscious…except one. This gripping documentary-style thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Content and Sensory Advisory: This production has loud and jarring noises, such as screams, moments of complete darkness, and lighting effects such as strobing and flashing lights throughout the show. The show is in the horror genre, with references to suicide, murder, and drowning, and the depiction of institutionalization.
