Transient. Migrant. Homeless. Hobo. Hard times for those that hunger for Work, Food and Shelter during the Great Depression. Men and women travelled the country’s railways seeking work, some looking for a fresh start, but many tearing their families apart in order to provide for them. An unfortunate time where the less fortunate can disappear without a trace — whether by their hand, or another — and not even time can tell you their story. Throw in a serial killer, and how easy it is to become railroaded yourself. Set yourself on a journey through this dark memory and see that glimpse of danger. Do be sure to wake before their reality becomes yours.
**As a POP-UP — RAILROADED is a short experience — 20 minutes in length, but will enhance your experience from Chapter 1, and next summer’s Chapter 2. You do not need to have seen Chapter 1 to enjoy RAILROADED. 14 and up can attend with an adult.
Railroaded will be presented as a pop-up, or short-term installation, with an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) built into and preceding the experience, resulting in a multi-location trek through Northeast Ohio. Extremely limited tickets will be available to the main performance, with a reward for those that complete the ARG, though participation in the ARG is optional, and not required prior to attending Railroaded.
