Uncanny Alley: A New Day truly showcases what it means to be Outstanding Emerging Media Narrative Programming. This innovative theater production uses live actors performing and interacting with audiences inside a virtual reality story-verse. The experience challenges audiences to consider the choice of protecting your home or building a new one through a cyberpunk-infused narrative journey that blends interactive games, live performance, and immersive cinema.

​

Set in a expansive virtual world of 30+ unique environments, Uncanny Alley: A New Day begins with audiences in prison after protesting at a rally against the impending "New Day update" to their digital world. When a hacker named Gh0st enlists her megabyte friend, Puck, to trigger an explosive jailbreak, audiences are thrust into the sewers beneath the city and swept into a journey through a whimsical, dangerous, and unexpectedly human virtual experience. Two live actors portray 15 characters in real time, inviting audiences to respond directly to performers and the world around them, as embodied characters inside the story.

Audiences don't watch Uncanny Alley. They don't play it. They become it.
