All aboard Austin's Red Line for Cheerful Secrets' interactive play

Many plays have two acts, but not many are two legs of a journey. That's just part of what makes new productionThe first act takes place from the Downtown stop on the Cap Metro Red Line train up to the Crestview stop; and the second act on the return leg. This means intermission takes place at a most unusual theatre bar: Black Star Co-op.

“Not everybody wants to be an actor, but everyone likes to play pretend,” said Maag. For her, the key is that she wants it to be open to everyone, no matter what level of performance experience they have. So the whole idea is to make it as stress-free is possible. The performers will be met by Maag’s conductor and given a script with all their lines highlighted. All they have to do is take a seat and read aloud.

She was driven to move that concept beyond Zoom after a conversation with a friend with an interest in mobility, urban design, and public transportation. That's when Maag realized that she had never taken the Red Line, and the train would create a unique yet familiar environment, even for people who have only seen the train as it passed them by while they're stuck in traffic.
