IGNITE: A Virtual Theatre Experience

Sparks fly when ten students at Alexandria College, a prestigious, private institution in Newport, Rhode Island, find themselves immersed in a fall semester full of new relationships, old secrets, and a shocking discovery that threatens to change campus life forever. With access to an online database of hidden audio recordings, voicemails, phone calls, video clips, and more, audience members have the ability to freely explore each student's story. When a fire erupts on campus just days before winter break, it will be up to you to figure out how it all unraveled. IGNITE is a virtual theatre experience that explores what happens when we speak up, what happens when we stay quiet, and how one tiny spark can set everything ablaze.

October 20 - 22: 7pm
October 23 - 25: 8pm
3pm Matinees on Saturday, October 24th.
NOTE: IGNITE takes approximately 150 minutes to complete. All times listed are ET.
